Question
A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near Earth's surface. A particle of charge -1.5 × 10-9 C is acted on by a
downward electrostatic force of 2.6 × 106 N when placed in this field. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field? (b) What is the
magnitude of the electrostatic force on a proton placed in this field? (c) What is the gravitational force on the proton? (d) What is the
ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force in this case?
