Use the equation E=F/q
E= the strength of the electric field. In this case 750 N/C.
F= Force (mass*acceleration) with mass of an electron being 9.11*10-31 kg and the acceleration our unknown variable.
q= the charge of the electron, which is 1.6*10-19 C.
1. Our equation.
750 N/C = ((9.11*10-31 kg )*(acceleration))/(1.6*10-19 C)
2. Begin isolating the acceleration by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1.6*10-19.
1.2*10-16 = (9.11*10-31 kg )*(acceleration)
3. Continue isolating the acceleration by dividing both sides by (9.11*10-31 kg).
1.32*1014 = acceleration
There is the answer. The acceleration is 1.32*1014 m/sec2.
The electric field, usually denoted with a positive charge, will send out a repulsive charge. The electron, denoted with a negative charge will be attracted to this positive field and therefor have an opposite acceleration to the direction of the electric field's charge.
What else can I help you with?
Is electric field dependent of magnitude of charge?
Yes, the electric field created by a point charge is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge. As the charge increases, the electric field strength at a given distance from the charge also increases.
What is meant by electric field intencity?
An electric field can be represented diagrammatically as a set of lines with arrows on, called electric field-lines, which fill space. Electric field-lines are drawn according to the following rules: The direction of the electric field is everywhere tangent to the field-lines, in the sense of the arrows on the lines. The magnitude of the field is proportional to the number of field-lines per unit area passing through a small surface normal to the lines. Thus, field-lines determine the magnitude, as well as the direction, of the electric field. In particular, the field is strong at points where the field-lines are closely spaced, and weak at points where they are far apart. Electric Field intensity It was stated that the electric field concept arose in an effort to explain action-at-a-distance forces. All charged objects create an electric field which extends outward into the space which surrounds it. The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object. In this section of Lesson 4, we will investigate electric field from a numerical viewpoint - the electric field strength.

When probing the electric field direction it is necessary to specify that the magnitude of the test charge be very small?
A large "test charge" would influence the field you want to measure.
What do you mean by electric flux in electrostatics?
Under an electric field, magnitude and direction of electric intensity is different in every point.If the electric intensity can be defined through a closed line (direction of electric intensity will be along the tangent of any point of that line)this is called electric lines of force. Electric lines of forces passing through an closed electric surface perpendicularly, is called electric flux.
How can we increase the magnitude of the magnetic field of an electric magnet?
You can increase the magnitude of the magnetic field of an electromagnet by increasing the number of turns in the coil, increasing the current flowing through the coil, and using a ferromagnetic core material within the coil. These factors collectively enhance the strength of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet.
Is a strong electric field directed toward a charge?
A strong electric field directed toward a charge will exert a force on the charge, causing it to experience an acceleration in the direction of the field if it is positive, or in the opposite direction if it is negative. The force experienced by the charge will depend on the magnitude of the field and the charge itself.
The direction of the electric field vector is defined as?
Direction of the electric field vector is the direction of the force experienced by a charged particle in an external electric field.
What will be the movement of charge when enter in a uniform electric field?
When a charge enters a uniform electric field, it will experience a force in the direction of the field if it's positive and in the opposite direction if it's negative. This force will cause the charge to accelerate in the direction of the field lines. The magnitude and direction of the acceleration will depend on the charge of the particle and the strength of the electric field.
What are two exambles of vector quantities?
A vector quantity is any measurement where the direction is relevant, such as position, velocity, acceleration, force, electric field, etc.
Why is an electric field strength a vector quantity?
for a vector quantity it must have both magnitude and direction and since it has both magnitude and direction it is therefore considered a vector
What is a quantity that has both Magnitude and direction called?
A quantity that has both magnitude and direction often has an arrow drawn over the unit of measurement. This is known as a vector quantity, as opposed to a scalar quantity which has no direction.
Can we have physical quantities which have magnitude and direction but are not vectors if yes how?
yes we can have. for eg electric current, pressure etc though these quantities have both magnitude and direction their directions are not necessary to define them and vectors are those quantities which has magnitude and requires direction to be defined " quantities having both magnitude and direction is a vector" is not a corrrect definition ofa vector
What is the electric strength force?
The electric strength force, or electric field intensity, measures the force exerted on a unit positive charge placed in an electric field. It is a vector quantity that describes the direction and magnitude of the force experienced by a charge in the presence of an electric field. It is measured in units of newtons per coulomb (N/C).
What physical quantity use both magnitude and direction?
Any vector quantity does. Examples of vector quantities include but are not limited to . . . - Displacement - Velocity - Acceleration - Torque - Force - Electric field - Momentum - Poynting vector
How is the magnitude of an electric field defined?
The magnitude of an electric field is defined as the force per unit charge experienced by a test charge placed in the field. It is measured in units of newtons per coulomb (N/C). This magnitude represents the strength of the electric field at a particular point.
Is electric field scalar or vector quantity?
Electric field is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction. The direction of the electric field at a point is the direction of the force that a positive test charge would experience if placed at that point.
Is electric field scalar or vector?
The strength of the electric field is a scalar quantity. But it's the magnitude of thecomplete electric field vector.At any point in space, the electric field vector is the strength of the force, and thedirection in which it points, that would be felt by a tiny positive charge located there.
