Problem 10CQ

A proton moves in a region of constant electric field. Does it follow that the proton’s velocity is parallel to the electric field? Does it follow that the proton’s acceleration is parallel to the electric field? Explain.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Here we need to explain whether the proton which is passing through the constant electric field region, will have parallel velocity to the electric field and parallel acceleration to the electric field.

We need to consider that the electric field will exert a force on all the charged particles passing through it.
