You release the proton from near the positive plate and the electron from near the negative plate. Which feels the larger electric force? O The electron. O The proton. O Neither-there is no force. O The magnitude of the force is the same for both and in the same direction. O The magnitude of the force is the same for both but in opposite directions.arrow_forward10.
