Two protons A and B are placed in between the two plates of a parallel plate capacitor charged to a potential difference V as shown in the figure. The forces on the two protons are identical.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Electric field between the plates of capacitor is almost uniform.Therefore,force on both the protons will be identical it hardly matters whether they are placed near positive plate or negative plate.
