(a) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an electron is 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C.
(b) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an proton is 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C.
<h3>
Magnitude of electric field </h3>
The magnitude of electric field is given by the following equation.
F = qE
But F = mg
mg = qE
E = mg/q
where;
- E is the electric field
- m is mass of the particle
- g is acceleration due to gravity
- q is charge of the particle
<h3>For an electron</h3>
E = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)
E = 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C
<h3>For proton</h3>
E = (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)
E = 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C
Thus, the required vertical electric field is greater when the charge is proton.

From the diagram we have that
Therefore the direction is 30° from east of south
