Answer

The magnitude of the force is $~~0.245~N$

Work Step by Step

We can find the electrostatic force in unit-vector notation: $F = q~E$ $F = (8.00\times 10^{-5}~C)~(3000~\hat{i} - 600~\hat{j})~N/C$ $F = (0.240~\hat{i} - 0.048~\hat{j})~N$ We can find the magnitude of the force: $F = \sqrt{(0.240~N)^2+(0.048~N)^2}$ $F = 0.245~N$ The magnitude of the force is $~~0.245~N$
