Concept explainers
Three charged particles are in an electric field E. Rank their accelerations from greatest to least:
(A) charge q, mass m
(B) charge 3q, mass 2m
(C) charge 2q, mass m
To find: The rank of charged particles in an electric field.
Explanation of Solution
Electric force on a charge particle
Where, E is the electric field and q is charge.
From Newton second law of motion.
Acceleration of particle is
So, in a constant electric field
Acceleration in option (A),
Acceleration in option (A),
Acceleration in option (A),
Therefore,
