Physics / electric charges, forces, and fields
1. A proton moves in a region of constant electric field. Does it follow that the proton's velocity is parallel to the elctric field? Does it follow that the proton's acceleration is parallel to the electric field? Explain.
2.A system consists of two charges of equal magnitude and opposite sign separated by a distance d. Since the total electri charge of this system is zero, can we conclude that thte electric field produced by the system is also zero? Does your answer depend on the separation d? Explain.
