If an electric field of magnitude 570 N C-1 is applied in the copper wire, what is the acceleration experienced by the electron?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
F = ma ; F = eE
mass of electron : m = 9.1 x 10-27 Kg
charge on electron : e = 1.6 x 10-19 C
Electric Field : F = 570 N C-1
a = 1010 m s-2
