6.2 What is the electric field strength 0.5 nm fr proton?
SOLUTION
\[
\begin{aligned}
E & =\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r^{2}} \\
& =\frac{1.602 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}}{4 \pi\left(8.854 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{C}^{2} \mathrm{~N}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\right)\left(0.5 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}\right)^{2}} \\
& =5.759 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}
\end{aligned}
