    6.2 x 10⁻¹⁸N/C

    Explanation:

    Given parameters:

    Force on electron = 100N

    Unknown:

    Electric field strength = ?

    Solution:

    An electric field is the region of space where the force of an electric current can be felt.

    To solve for the strength of the force field;

    F = Eq

    where F is the force on the electron

    E is the electric field strength

    q is the quantity of the charge

    An electron has a quantity of charge 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

    therefore;

    100N = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C x E

    E = 6.2 x 10⁻¹⁸N/C
