Question

A proton and an electron are initially stationary, a certain distance apart. When released, they start moving due to the electric force between them. When released,

the proton has a higher acceleration than the electron.

the proton has a lower acceleration than the electron.

the proton has the same acceleration than the electron.

1.

the proton has a higher acceleration than the electron.

2.

the proton has a lower acceleration than the electron.

3.

the proton has the same acceleration than the electron.

Explanation / Answer

F=kq1q2/r2

both experience same force

but a=F/m

and since proton is heavier

B) proton has a lower acceleration than electron
