Question

Two particles of the same mass carry charges +3Q and –2Q, respectively. They are shot into a region that contains a uniform electric field as shown. The particles have the same initial velocities in the positive x direction. The lines, numbered 1 through 5, indicate possible paths for the particles. If the electric field points in the negative y direction, what will be the resulting paths for these particles?path 2 for +3Q and path 5 for –2Qpath 3 for +3Q and path 2 for –2Qpath 4 for +3Q and path 3 for –2Qpath 1 for +3Q and path 4 for –2Qpath 5 for +3Q and path 2 for –2Q

Answer 1

Under the given constances we will have that the paths they will follow will be:

*+3Q will follow path 5.

*-2Q woll follow path 2.

This is since we are given a direction for the electric field.
