Question

Two oppositely charged particles are held in place near each other. When the particles are released, they will most likely A. accelerate away from each other. B. accelerate toward each other. C. rotate in a clockwise direction.. D. rotate in a counterclockwise direction.​

Answer 1

A

Explanation: this is because 1. the particles were HELD together. after the particles are released, they move with their own forces in opposite direction as such, they move in their respective directions.

2. when we consider the electrostatic force of attraction, oppositely charged particles would attract when the depletion boundaries are exceeded as such they tend to move in the direction of the force with the greatest magnitude
