a) A point charge q = 0.95 nC is fixed at the origin. Where must an electron be placed in order for the electric force acting on it to be exactly balanced by its weight? Start solving the problem with a free-body diagram for the electron; make sure to label the forces acting on the electron. Include in your Blackboard submission.

b) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field created by the point charge q= 0.95 nC at the location of the electron.

q_e = - 1.610^-19 C m_e = 9.1110^-31 kg k = 8.9910⁹ Nm²/C²

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
