The given figure shows five particles are shot from left into a region that contains a uniform electric field. The numbered lines shows the paths taken by the five particles. A negatively charged particle with a charge -3Q follows path 2 while it moves through this field. Do not consider any effects due to gravity.

Which path would be followed by a helium atom (an electrically neutral particle) ?

A

path 1

B

path 2

C

path 3

D

path 4
