Suppose You Released a Single Proton from Rest at Some

question 34

Multiple Choice

Suppose you released a single proton from rest at some point X in an electric field, and that you then released a single electron from rest at the same point X. How would the motions of the proton and electron compare, just after their release from rest?

• A) They would move in opposite directions, and the electron would move fastest.
• B) They would move in opposite directions, and the proton would move fastest.
• C) They would move in the same directions, and the electron would move fastest.
• D) They would move in opposite directions, and at the same speeds.
• E) They would move in the same directions, and the proton would move fastest.
