Answer:
E = 8.26*10⁻¹⁰ N/C, due south.
Explanation:
- Assuming no other forces acting on the electron than the electrostatic force due to the electric field, we can apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:
- Solving for E, we can find its magnitude as follows:
- The direction of the electric field is by definition the one that would take a positive test charge, so if the electron is accelerated to the north, the electric field would exactly oppose to this direction, so it is directed due south.
