<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) +2 x 10² N/C (upwards)

(b) -2.2μN or -2.2 x 10⁻⁶N (downwards)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The force (F) acting on a particle of charge (Q) at a particular point is related to its electric field (E) by the following;

F = Q x E   ----------------------(i)

This means that the force acting on the charged particle is the product of its charge and the electric field at that point.

<em>(a) Given</em>;

Q = charge of the particle = 2.3 x 10⁻⁸ C

F = force acting on the particle = 4.6 x 10⁻⁶N

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

=> 4.6 x 10⁻⁶  = 2.3 x 10⁻⁸ x E

=> E = 4.6 x 10⁻⁶ ÷ 2.3 x 10⁻⁸

=> E =  2 x 10² N/C

Since the value is positive, the electric field is directed upwards.

Therefore, the electric field at that point is +2 x 10² N/C

<em>(b) If a charge of q = -1.1 x 10⁻⁸ is placed there, the force (F) acting is calculated as follows;</em>

<em>Substitute Q = q into equation (i) as follows;</em>

F = q x E

<em>Substitute the value of q and E = 2 x 10² N/C into the equation above as follows;</em>

F = -1.1 x 10⁻⁸ x 2 x 10²

F = -2.2 x 10⁻⁶ N

F = -2.2μN

Since the value of the force, F, is negative, it means it is directed downwards.

Therefore the force on the charge is -2.2μN

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Lithium has the lowest electronegativity.

Explanation:

Electronegativity measures the tendency of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons. As we move left to right in a period, the number of shell remains same but the number of electron increases(negative charge increases. Hence, electronegativity also increases.

As Lithium is the left most element in this period. It has the lowest electronegativity value which is equal to 0.98.
