What is the time of fall for an electron and a proton, each falling through a distance of 1.5 cm in a uniform electric field of magnitude 2.0 × 10 ⁴ N C ⁻¹ ,when the direction of the field is reversed while keeping its magnitude unchanged?
Options
- AThe time of fall for both the electron and proton is the same.
- BThe time of fall for the electron is shorter than that for the proton.
- CThe time of fall for the proton is shorter than that for the electron.
- DThe time of fall cannot be determined with the given information.
Correct answer
B. The time of fall for the electron is shorter than that for the proton.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) The time of fall for the electron is shorter than that for the proton.
