Question
Two particles of the same mass carry charges +3Q and –2Q, respectively. They are shot into a region that contains a uniform electric field as shown. The particles have the same initial velocities in the positive x-direction. The lines, numbered 1 through 5, indicate possible paths for the particles. If the electric field points in the negative y-direction, what will be the resulting paths for these particles?
choices:
path 5 for +3Q and path 1 for –2Q |
||
path 5 for +3Q and path 2 for –2Q |
||
path 4 for +3Q and path 1 for –2Q |
||
path 4 for +3Q and path 2 for –2Q |

- In the ever popular game from the future, Electrodisc, players can score double points by pushing a disc into another disc with the electric field generated by a third disc. The discs are by regulation 1 kg. All discs have the same shape and are made of the same conducting material. In the figure below, disc 1 is held in place, and disc 2 is held stationary 4.1 m from disc 1 by a player. The player then releases disc 2. 10 m.
