Question

A very long, straight wire has a positive charge.

If a proton were released from rest at some distance from this wire (and was free to move), which of the following quantities would INCREASE?

a) its velocity

b) its acceleration

c) the electric force on it from the wire

If an electron were released from rest at some distance from this wire (and was free to move), which of the following quantities would INCREASE?

a) its velocity

b) its acceleration

c) the electric force on it from the wire
