Step 1
To determine the direction of the electric field, we need to consider the direction of the acceleration experienced by the electron. According to Newton's second law, the direction of the acceleration of a charged particle in an electric field is opposite to the Show more…

(II) An electron moving to the right at $7.5 \times 10 ^ { 5 } \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s }$ enters a uniform electric field parallel to its direction of motion. If the electron is to be brought to rest in the space of $4.0 \mathrm { cm } , ( a )$ what direction is required for the electric field, and $( b )$ what is the strength of the field?
