Five Particles Are Shot from the Left into a Region

question 26

Multiple Choice

Five particles are shot from the left into a region that contains a uniform electric field. The numbered lines show the paths taken by the five particles. A negatively charged particle with a charge -3Q follows path 2 while it moves through this field. Do not consider any effects due to gravity.
-Which path would be followed by a charge +6Q?

• A)path 1
• B)path 2
• C)path 3
• D)path 4
• E)path 5

Definitions:

Ohm Resistance

The measure of the resistance within an electrical circuit, quantifying how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.

Current Flow

The movement of electrical charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes (amps), fundamental to electrical circuits and devices' operation.

Ohm's Law

A fundamental principle in electricity that states the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

Total Circuit Resistance

The sum of all resistances within an electrical circuit, affecting the overall current flow and performance.
