An electron and proton are placed inside a uniform electric field.

A

Electric forces acting on them are equal

B

Acceleration of both will be equal

C

The magnitude of acceleration of both will be equal

D

The magnitude of electric force on them will be equal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The magnitude of electric forces on both of them is equal but the directions are opposite. Masses of both the particles are different so for the same amount of electric force, acceleration will be different.
