A proton moving to the right at 6.2 × 10^5 ms-1 enters a region where there is an electric field of 62 kNC-1 directed to the left. Describe qualitatively the motion of the proton in this filed. What is the time taken by the proton to come back to the point where it entered the field?
I approached this problem trying to solve for time.
Mass proton = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg
velocity of proton = 6.2 x 10^5 m/s
charge proton = 1.60 x 10^-19 C
t = time?
t = (electric field)/((Mass proton x velocity proton)/charge proton)
I was thinking that the units would cancel out and leave the answer in seconds.
