Questions  

A proton and an electron are placed in a uniform electric field.

a
The electric forces acting on them will be equal
b
The magnitude of the forces will be equal
c
Their accelerations will be equal
d
The magnitudes of their accelerations will be equal.

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The magnitude of the forces will be equal as their magnitude of charge is same. As the mass of proton is more its acceleration is less than electronF=qE⇒F∝q if  E is constant a=qEm⇒a∝1m  if q, E are constant
