This question is impossible to answer because the force is dependant on the strength of the electric field. This will depend on how many other charges there are and how far away. The strength of an electric field is proportional to the number of charges and the inverse square of the distance.
Strength of field = C x N / D2
where C is some constant, N is the number of charges (-ve will repel +ve will attract for and electron) and D is the distance between the electron and the charges creating the field.

∙ 11y agoThe direction of an electric field is found by determining what direction the electric force would apply on a positive charge at any point. Because like charges repel and opposite charges attract, an electric field stems away from a positive charge and converges to a negative charge where possible.

Is the direction of the electric force on a charge is tangent to the field line?
yes,the direction of electric force on a charge is tangent of field lines.
Does an electric field have strength but no direction?
It has plenty of direction. The direction of the electric field at any point in it is the direction of the force that would be felt by an infinitesimally small positive charge placed at that point.
Which wave cannot exist inside wave guide?
TEM TE modes (Transverse Electric) have no electric field in the direction of propagation. * TM modes (Transverse Magnetic) have no magnetic field in the direction of propagation. * TEM modes (Transverse ElectroMagnetic) have no electric nor magnetic field in the direction of propagation. * Hybrid modes are those which have both electric and magnetic field components in the direction of propagation
How can you experimentally distinguish an electric field from a gravitational field?
Introduce two opposite charged objects one AT A TIME and if they move IN THE SAME DIRECTION, they are in a gravitational field, if they move IN DIFFERENT direction they are in an electric field.
What will be the effect on the motion of electron if it travels along the dirction of electric field?
The "direction" of the electric field is defined as the direction of the force it exerts on a small positive charge. The direction of the force on an electron in the field is exactly opposite to the direction of the field, and its effect is to accelerate the electron in the direction of the force.
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.
Is the direction of the electric force on a charge is tangent to the field line?
yes,the direction of electric force on a charge is tangent of field lines.

Relationship between electric field intensity and electric potential?
Electric field intensity is related to electric potential by the equation E = -dV/dx, where E is the electric field intensity, V is the electric potential, and x is the distance in the direction of the field. Essentially, the electric field points in the direction of decreasing potential, and the magnitude of the field is related to the rate at which the potential changes.

What will be the direction of drift velocity in an electric field?
east

Are electric field lines real?
No, they only help us understand electric fields.
How can you reverse the direction of the magnetic field in a wire produced by an electric current?
You can reverse the direction of the magnetic field by reversing the direction of the electrical current.
Electric field lines show the strength and what of an electric field?
Direction and electric flux density. Representing an electric field (and this works with other fields also) with lines is a sophisticated and time honored tradition. The density of lines in any region of space is proportional to the strength (magnitude) of the field in that region of space. The direction of the field is along the direction of the line at each position on each of the lines. In such a graphical representation the field direction goes out from positive charge and in towards negative charge and the visualization usually has some indication of the sign of charge or direction of the field to give the information about direction of the vector field represented by the field lines.
Why Do transverse magnetic mode has no magnetic line is in direction of propagation?
No. It has. Since transverse electric mode has it's wave propagating in the Z direction, and has magnetic field existing in the same direction with NO electric field... Likewise, transverse magnetic mode has it's wave propagating in the Z direction and has electric field existing in the same direction with NO magnetic field.
