Answer:

3.99×10⁵ N/C

Explanation:

Assuming both force forms a right angle triangle,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²................... Equation 1

Where a= resultant of the two forces, b = the force acting upward, c = the force acting to the right.

make a the subject of the equation.

a = √(b²+c²)....................... Equation 2

Given: b = 2.7×10⁻¹⁴ N, c = 5.8×10⁻¹⁴ N.

Substitute into equation 2

a = √[(2.7×10⁻¹⁴)²+( 5.8×10⁻¹⁴ )²]

a = √[7.28×10⁻²⁸)+(33.64×10⁻²⁸)]

a = √(40.92×10⁻²⁸)

a = 6.397×10⁻¹⁴ N.

But,

F = Eq ................ Equation 3

Where E = Electric Field, q = charge of an electron, F = electric force.

make E the subject of the equation,

E = F/q ............. Equation 4

Given: F = 6.397×10⁻¹⁴ N, q = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹  C.

Substitute into equation 4

E =  6.397×10⁻¹⁴/(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ )

E = 3.99×10⁵ N/C

Why is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge an ideal place for SWARM to collect electrical conductivity data?
ElenaW [278]

Answer: Mid-ocean ridges are geologically important because they occur along the kind of plate boundary where new ocean floor is created as the plates spread apart. Thus the mid-ocean ridge is also known as a "spreading center" or a "divergent plate boundary." The plates spread apart at rates of 1 cm to 20 cm per year.
