Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) with constant acceleration

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The force on a charged particle in an electric field is Also, \(F=q E\) \(F=m a\) \(\Rightarrow \quad a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{q E}{m}\) As \(q\) and \(m\) are constant for a positively charged particle and the electric field is also uniform. So, the particle move with constant…
