Statement-I: Acceleration of charged particle in non uniform electric field does not depend on veloicty of charged particle
Statement-II: charge is an invariant quantity, that is, amount of charge on particle doesn't depend on frame of referenced
Statement-II: charge is an invariant quantity, that is, amount of charge on particle doesn't depend on frame of referenced
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is True, statement-II is True
Both statements are true. The acceleration of a charged particle in an electric field depends on the electric field and the charge, not the velocity. Charge is also an invariant quantity, meaning it doesn't change with the frame of reference.

A neutron, a proton and an electron are placed in a uniform electric field.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Magnitude of acceleration will be different.
The magnitude of acceleration will be different because the force on each particle depends on its charge, and the acceleration depends on both the force and the mass, which are different for each particle.
