A particle has a charge of +2.30 μC and moves from point A to point B, a distance of 0.230 m. The particle experiences a constant electric force, and its motion is along the line of action of the force. The difference between the particle's electric potential energy at A and B is EPEA − EPEB = +8.20×10−4 J. (a) Find the magnitude of the electric force that acts on the particle. (b) Find the magnitude of the electric field that the particle experiences.
