If a particle with a charge of +3.3 × 10? 18 c is attracted to another particle by a force of 2.5 × 10? 8 n, what is the magnitude of the electric field at this location? 8.3 × 10^-26 nc 1.8 × 10^10 nc 1.3 × 10^-10 n/c 7.6 × 10^9 n/c

Explanation:

The relationship between force exerted on a charge and strength of the electric field is given by

where

F is the strength of the electric force

q is the charge of the particle

E is the magnitude of the electric field

For the particle in the problem, we have

So the magnitude of the electric field at the location of the particle is

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
