    Answer: 8*10^-15 N

    Explanation: In order to calculate the force applied on an electron in the middle of the two planes at 500 V we know that, F=q*E

    The electric field between the plates is given by:

    E = ΔV/d = 500 V/0.01 m=5*10^3 N/C

    the force applied to the electron is: F=e*E=8*10^-15 N
