F = Eq Ma = Eq a = E (q/M) a propto (q/M)

Q. The acceleration of a charged particle in a uniform electric field is

proportional to its charge only

inversely proportional to its mass only

proportional to its specific charge

inversely proportional to specific charge

$F = Eq$
$M a = Eq$
$a = E \frac{q}{M}$
$a \propto \frac{q}{M}$

Q. The acceleration of a charged particle in a uniform electric field is

inversely proportional to specific charge

F=Eq Ma=Eq a=EMq​ a∝Mq​

$F = Eq$
$M a = Eq$
$a = E \frac{q}{M}$
$a \propto \frac{q}{M}$
