Physics Question on Electrostatics
The mass of a proton is 1847 times that of an electron. A electron and a proton are injected into a uniform electric field at right angle to the direction of the filed with the same initial K.E.
A
the electron trajectory will be less curved than the proton trajectory.
B
both the trajectories will be straight.
C
the proton trajectory will be less curved than the electron trajectory.
D
both the trajectories will be equally curved.
Answer
both the trajectories will be equally curved.
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (D): both the trajectories will be equally curved.
