Question

A proton is placed in a uniform electric field directed

Answer 1

Answer:

A uniform Electric field is directed parallel to and in the direction of the positive x-axis. A proton is placed some where in the x y plane. Since, a proton is positively charged, the force on it due to the field will be in the direction parallel to x - axis , from the point where the proton is placed.

Explanation:

As the electric field is directed from Positive (+ve) to negative ( -ve) and the positively charged proton gets attracted to the opposite charge (i.e., negative) and the proton moves in the direction of the electric field towards the –ve.

The direction of the proton will depend on the nature of the electric field, if it is positive it will move in the direction of the electric field and vice versa.
