Question

A charge of magnitude 3e and mass 2m is moving in an electric field E. The acceleration imparted to the charge is ______.

Options

• `(3Ee)/(2m)`

• `(3m)/(2Ee)`

• `(2Ee)/(3m)`

• `(2m)/(3Ee)`

Answer 1

A charge of magnitude 3e and mass 2m is moving in an electric field E. The acceleration imparted to the charge is `underlinebb((3Ee)/(2m))`.

Explanation:

Given, the charge on the particle, q = 3e

Mass, m' = 2m

Force on a charged particle in the electric field,

F = qE = 3eE

∴ Acceleration imparted to charged particles,

`a = F/m^' = (3eE)/(2m)`
