An electron moving with a speed of $5 \times 10^6 \, m/s$ is shot parallel to an electric field of intensity $1 \times 10^3 \, N/C$. The field causes retardation of the electron's motion. Evaluate the distance traveled by the electron before coming to rest for an instant (mass of $e = 9 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).

  • A
    $7 \, m$
  • B
    $0.7 \, mm$
  • C
    $7 \, cm$
  • D
    $0.7 \, cm$
