12th Class Physics Electric Charges and Fields Question Bank MCQ - Electric Charges and Fields

  • question_answer
    The tracks of three charged particles in a uniform electrostatic field are shown in the figure. Which particle has the highest charge to mass ratio?

    A) A                     

    B) B       

    C) C                                 

    D) A and B

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c) C Particles A and B have negative charges because they are being deflected towards the positive plate of the electrostatic field. Particle C has positive charge because it is being deflected towards the negative plate. \[\therefore \]Deflection of charged particle in time tin y-direction \[h=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{qE}{m}{{t}^{2}}\] i.e., \[h\propto \frac{q}{m}\] As the particle C suffers maximum deflection in y-direction, so it has highest charge of mass (q/m) ratio.
