Hence, It will be a straight line path. ... That is because the force an electric field puts on a charge is in the same direction as the electric field. In contrast, a the force put on a moving charge by a magnetic field is perpendicular to the movement and the magnetic field

A charged particle enters and electric field in the direction of electric field, the nature of the path will be a straight line.
Explanation:
- When a charge is present in an electric field, it experiences a force that is either in or against the field's direction, depending on the nature of the charge.
- Because charge enters the electric field in the direction of motion, it will feel force in the opposite direction.
- There will be acceleration or retardation in the direction of motion in either situation. As a result, the journey will be in a straight line.
