Answer:

Electric force on this electron is [tex]F=2.2\times 10^{-14}\ Newtons[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on an electron, [tex]q=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

Electric field, [tex]E=1.4\times 10^{5}\ N/C[/tex]

We have to find the magnitude of electric force on this electron due to this field. Mathematically, the electric force is given by :

F = q E

[tex]F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 1.4\times 10^{5}\ N/C[/tex]

[tex]F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N[/tex]

or

[tex]F=2.2\times 10^{-14}\ N[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is (c) " [tex]2.2\times 10^{-14}\ Newtons[/tex] "
