Question

Is it true or false that A proton traveling to the right moves in between the two large plates. A vertical electric field, pointing downwards with magnitude 3.0 N/C, is produced by the plates, the field points is in the same direction on the proton as the force felt by a positive test charge

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In the question it is given that a proton travels in the right moves in between the two plates. An electric field that is pointing in the vertically upward direction has magnitude of 3 N/C. The electric field is produced by the plates.

Now from here we can conclude that the direction of the force acting on the proton when the proton is in between the plates acts in the downward direction. While the electric field lines points in the upward direction. Thus the electric point will not be in the direction of the force that acts on the proton.
