A proton is placed in an electric field of intensity 700 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of this proton due to this field? (mproton = 1.6 * 10-27 kg, e = 1.60 * 10-19C) A) 6.71 * 109 m/s2 opposite to the electric field B) 67.1 * 1010 m/s2 opposite to the electric field C) 6.71 * 1010 m/s2 in the direction of the electric field D) 67.1 * 1010 m/s2 in the direction of the electric field E) 6.71 * 1010 m/s2 opposite to the electric field

A proton moves in the electric field E = 220i N/C. (Express your answers in vector form) (a) What are the force on (in N) and the acceleration (in m/s^2) of the proton? F = N a = m/s^2 (b) What are the force on (in N) and the acceleration (in m/s^2) of an electron in this field? F = N a = m/s^2
