Force on Proton in Electric Field

Medium Physics Electrostatics And Electromagnetism

A proton and an electron are placed in a uniform electric field directed from left to right with a strength of 1,000 N/C. The proton has a charge of +1.6 x 10-19 C and the electron has a charge of -1.6 x 10-19 C. Both particles are initially at rest, 10 cm apart from each other and equidistant from the center of the electric field. Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted on the proton due to the electric field.
