Question

Which of the following choices is a true statement about a particle's acceleration in a uniform electric field?

It accelerates in the opposite direction of the electric field lines.

It accelerates in the direction of the electric field lines.

None of the other choices are true.

The acceleration is constant.

a.)

It accelerates in the opposite direction of the electric field lines.

b.)

It accelerates in the direction of the electric field lines.

c.)

None of the other choices are true.

d.)

The acceleration is constant.

Here the correct option is, option D.

Explanation – In a uniform field as the field and hence the force is constant. So acceleration of the particle being F/m, is also constant.
