Question

A proton and an electron are in a
constant electric field created by oppositely charged plates.
You release the proton from near the positive plate and the
electron from near the negative plate. Which feels the larger
electric force?
(a) The proton.
(b) The electron.
(c) Neither—there is no force.
(d) The magnitude of the force is the same for both and in
the same direction.
(e) The magnitude of the force is the same for both but in
opposite directions.

 

When the proton and electron in MisConceptual Question 6
strike the opposite plate, which one has more kinetic energy?
(a) The proton.
(b) The electron.
(c) Both acquire the same kinetic energy.
(d) Neither—there is no change in kinetic energy.
(e) They both acquire the same kinetic energy but with
opposite signs.
