    The path of a charged particle entering perpendicularly in a uniform electric field will be:

    A)  linear                                   

    B)  parabolic

    C)  circular                

    D)         elliptical

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The equation of motion of the charge entering perpendicular to the electric field is \[y=\frac{qE}{2m_{\upsilon }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\] or                 \[y\propto {{x}^{2}}\] Therefore, path of a charged particle entering perpendicularly in electric field is parabolic in shape.
