A proton is placed in a unifrom electric field directed along the positive x-axis. In which direction willl it tend to move?

A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected along the direction of the fields with a certain velocity then

An electron enters in an electric field with its velocity in the direction of the electric lines of force. Then

Assertion: If electric potential remains constant along a path in electric field, then the electric field must be zero. Reason: The negative of an electric potential gradient in a direction is equal to the component of electric field in that direction.
