Given:
α particles have 2 e charge
\( \Rightarrow E = 15 * 10^{4} \\\Rightarrow F = Eq = 15 * 10^{4} * 2 * 1.6 * 10^{-19}\\\Rightarrow 4.8 * 10^{-14} N \)Therefore, the force acting on it is – \(4.8 * 10^{-14} N\)
Distance between electron and proton, r is 0.53 A.
As we know:
E = \(\frac{Kqe}{r^{2}}\)
Here
K = \(9 * 10^{9} N m^{2} C^{-2}\)
qe = \(1.6 * 10^{-19}\)
r = \(0.53 * 10^{-10} m\)
Now, by substituting the values, we get:
E =\( \frac{9 \;*\; 10^{9} \;* \;1.6 \;* \;10^{-19}}{0.53 \;* \;0.53 \;*\;10^\;{-20}}\\\Rightarrow E = \frac{144 * 10^{10}}{0.2809} \approx \frac{144 * 10^{10}}{28 * 10^{-2}} \\ \Rightarrow E = 5.14 * 10^{12} N/C\)
Therefore, the electric field at the location of electrons is – \(\Rightarrow E = 5.14 * 10^{12} N/C\)
