In the Electric Potential Mappljg Lab, your setup can create an electric eld with a magnitude of about 60 N/C. Imagine a singly ionized sodium ion has gotten loose in your water (mass approximately 3.8e-26 kg and charge approximately +1.6e-19 C). Because it is charged, the ion will feel a force from the eld. A. The ion may experience a "drag force" as it tries to move through the water. If the ion is moving with a constant velocity what is the magnitude of the drag force? [Aside2 This is a very idealized model, on such a microscopic scale we're using the term "drag" very loosely] B. If the drag force were half the value you found in part A, what would be the ion's acceleration
