Use the Appendix D for the next two exercises

Electromagnetic radiation from a 5.00-mW laser is concentrated on a 1.00-mm21.00 -\text{mm}^{2} area. (a) What is the intensity in W/m2\text{W}/\text{m}^{2} ? (b) Suppose a 2.00-nC electric charge is in the beam. What is the maximum electric force it experiences? (c) If the electric charge moves at 400 m/s, what maximum magnetic force can it feel?
