Question
A free positive charge released in an electric field willA. remain at rest.B. accelerate in the direction opposite to the electric field.C. accelerate in the direction perpendicular to the electric field.D. accelerate in the same direction as the electric field.E. accelerate in a circular path.
Step 1
Step 1: The force on a charge in an electric field is given by the equation $F = qE$, where $F$ is the force, $q$ is the charge, and $E$ is the electric field. Show more…
