Acceleration of a charged particle of charge \(q\) and mass moving in a uniform electric field of strength \(\mathrm{E}\) is
- A \(\frac{q}{m E}\)
- B \(\frac{q E}{m}\)
- C \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{qE}}\)
- D \(m q E\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{q E}{m}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Force experienced by charged particle in uniform electric field,
\(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{qE}\)
Acceleration of charged particle \(\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{qE}}{\mathrm{m}}\)
\(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{qE}\)
Acceleration of charged particle \(\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{qE}}{\mathrm{m}}\)
