Step 1
Given that the protein molecule has a net negative charge of ~e, where e is the elementary charge, we can calculate the charge in Coulombs. The elementary charge is approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 C. Therefore, the charge of the protein molecule is -1.6 x 10^-19 C. Show more…

A protein molecule in an electrophoresis gel has a negative charge. The exact charge depends on the pH of the solution, but 30 excess electrons is typical. What is the magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge in a 1600 N/C electric field? Express your answer in newtons

What is the magnitude of the force of a 500 N/C electric field on a 0.05-C point charge?

A point charge of mass 0.185 kg, and net charge +0.340$\mu$C hangs at rest at the end of an insulating cord above a large sheet of charge. The horizontal sheet of fixed uniform charge creates a uniform vertical electric field in the vicinity of the point charge. The tension in the cord is measured to be 5.18 N. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field due to the sheet of charge (Fig. 16-67). FIGURE 16-67 Problem 61. (CANT COPY FIGURE)
