The acceleration of a particle in an electric field depends on the ratio of the charge to the mass of the particle.

(a) Compute e/m for an electron.

(b) What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 100 N/C?

(c) When the speed of an electron approaches the speed of light c, relativistic mechanics must be used to calculate its motion, but at speeds significantly less than c, Newtonian mechanics applies. Using Newtonian mechanics, compute the time it takes for an electron placed at rest in an electric field with a magnitude of 100 N/C to reach a speed of 0.01c. 

(d) How far does the electron travel in that time?
