A total of 3.00 106 electrons are placed on an initially uncharged wire of length 1.44 m.
(a) What is the magnitude of the electric field a perpendicular distance of 0.412 m away from the midpoint of the wire?
(b) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a proton placed at that point in space?
(c) In which direction does the electric field force point in this case?
1. The force points towards the wire.
2. The force points away from the wire
