With a thunderstorm brewing, an electric field of magnitude 2.0 × 102 newtons/coulomb exists at a certain point in the earth’s atmosphere. If an electron at that point has a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs, what is the magnitude of the force on the electron as a result of the electric field? A.
2.0 × 10-6 newtons
B.
3.2 × 10-17 newtons
C.
5.8 × 105 newtons
D.
6.4 × 10-3 newtons
E.
1.7 × 104 newtons

Select light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to the max. then, select the start button at the source location to begin producing the waves. light is a form of electromagnetic wave, containing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. the wave amplitude detector mentioned above shows how the electric field oscillates in time at the location of the probe. the amplitude of the wave at the location of the probe is equal to the maximum electric field measured. how does the amplitude of the wave depend on the distance from the source?
