What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field that will balance the weight of (a) an electron and (b) a proton? (Use the data in Table $23.1 .$ )
Pranay S.
An object with a charge of $-2.1 \mu \mathrm{C}$ and a mass of 0.0044 $\mathrm{kg}$ experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric field, equal in magnitude to its weight. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of the electric field. (b) If the electric charge on the object is doubled while its mass remains the same, find the direction and magnitude of its acceleration.
