PHY 102 Electrostatics: Electric Charge and Coulomb's Law Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What is the acceleration (a) of a particle with charge q and mass m in an electric field E?
Options
A a = qEm
B a = mE/q
C a = qE/m
Correct Answer
D a = kQ/m²
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

From F = ma and F = qE, we set ma = qE, which yields a = qE/m.

Hint

Newton's second law meets electrostatic force.
