Question

A charged particle is placed in uniform electric field. Its path will be (A) straight line (B) parabola (C) circle (D) helix

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When a charged particle of charge q is placed in a uniform electric field E, it will experience a force qE in the direction of electric field. Hence, it will move through the electric field in a straight path (parallel to the field)

Q. A charged particle is placed in uniform electric field. Its path will be

straight line

parabola

circle

helix

When a charged particle of charge $q$ is placed in a uniform electric field $E$ , it will experience a force $qE$ in the direction of electric field. Hence, it will move through the electric field in a straight path (parallel to the field)
