If the electric ﬁeld strength is increased to
about 3.6 × 10^6 N/C, air “breaks down” and
loses its insulating quality. Under these conditions, sparking results.
The mass of an electron is 9.109 × 10
−31kg and its charge is −1.6 × 10^−19C.
a) How large an acceleration does an electron experience when the electron is placed in
such an electric ﬁeld?
Answer in units of m/s²
A-6.323416401e17m/s²
If the electron starts from rest when it is
placed in an electric ﬁeld under these conditions, in what distance does it acquire a speed
equal to 3.0 percent of the speed of light?
Answer in units of m
