The proton will have greater acceleration. This is because the proton has a higher charge to mass ratio than the alpha particle. The proton has a +1 charge, as you know, and the alpha particle has a +2 charge because it has 2 protons in it. But the alpha particle also has a pair of neutrons fuesed to those 2 protons, so it has a 2 to 4 charge to mass ratio. The proton, with its 1 to 1 ratio of charge to mass, will have a greater acceleration in the same electric field.

What type of fields surround every proton?
A proton is surrounded by an electric field, which interacts with other charged particles. It also interacts with a magnetic field under certain conditions, such as when it moves through a magnetic field.
Distinguish an electric from a magnetic field?
An electric field can created by a presence of a charge particle such as electron or proton. While a magnetic fieldis created due the relative motion of a charge particle with repeat to a stationary observer, motion of the charge particle.
What happens to an electron that is chasing a proton up a page when suddenly a magnetic field pointing into the page is applied?
Use the left hand rule (or use the right hand rule and reverse the result):F(vector) = v(vector) x B(vector)v is up and B is into page, so F is to the right. ?But since the electron still has momentum moving up, it will start moving up and to the right (assuming the proton is fixed. ?If the proton is also moving, then it gets more complicated).
How is lightning created involving protons?
Lightning is created when positive charges (protons) in the clouds interact with negative charges on the ground, creating an electric field. When the electric field becomes strong enough, it causes a rapid discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. This discharge equalizes the charges between the clouds and the ground.
Why do electrons produce an electric field?
Some fundamental particles in nature, happened to have an electric field. We just named one of them "electron". That's the simple answer. From an engineering point of view, there is no such thing as an electric field or electric line of force. Its a classical physics construct that we came up with, in order to explain what happens when charged particles interact with each other. Why do some particles have charges in the first place? Its because of some complex quark level interaction that I don't yet understand. Thus we have positive and negative charges, which attract each other, while like charges repel and we made up "electric lines of force" to explain them.
Force experienced by an electric field E is F N What will be the force on a proton in the same field. Take mass of the proton to be 1836 times mass of an electron?
The force experienced by a proton in an electric field will be the same as for any other charged particle with the same charge, because the force depends on the charge of the particle and the electric field strength. The charge of a proton is the same as the charge of an electron, just opposite in sign. The mass of the proton being 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron will not affect the force experienced by the proton in the electric field.
How would a proton's motion differ from the motion of an electron placed at the same point in the same electric field?
First of all, the forces they experience would be in exactly the opposite directions. Secondly, because the mass of the proton is greater, it would have a lower acceleration than the electron.
Does an electron accelerate greater than a proton in an electric field?
yes, it has less mass.
An electron and a proton are situated in a uniform electric field.what is the ratio of their acceleration?
The charges on proton and electron are equal in magnitude. hence, the electric force F(=eE) on them will be equal in magnitude.Acceleration of electron,ae=F/me=eE/meAcceleration of proton,ap=F/mp=eE/1836meTherefore,ae/ap=1836
What effect does electric field have on a proton?
An electric field will exert a force on a proton due to its positive charge. The proton will experience a force in the direction of the electric field if the field is uniform, causing it to accelerate in that direction.
Electric field of a proton?
The electric field of a proton is a force field that exerts a force on other charged particles in its vicinity. It is generated by the electric charge of the proton, which is positive. The strength of the electric field decreases with distance from the proton according to an inverse square law.
What is the velocity experienced by an electron in an electric field?
The velocity experienced by an electron in an electric field depends on the strength of the field and the mass of the electron. The velocity will increase as the electric field strength increases. The electron will accelerate in the direction of the electric field.
Will a chlorine ion lose its extra electron to a sodium ion when they are separated by an electric field in an aqueous solution?
no, because the electric potential of sodium is so low.But chlorine will give electron to proton to form hydrogen gas
Is the electric field caused by an electron weakest near the electron?
The electric field is stronger near the electron and becomes weaker as the distance from the electron increases.
What subatomic particles have an electric field around it?
All subatomic particles with electric charge, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons, have an electric field around them. This electric field is a result of the particle's charge and extends outward from the particle in all directions.
What type of fields surround every proton?
A proton is surrounded by an electric field, which interacts with other charged particles. It also interacts with a magnetic field under certain conditions, such as when it moves through a magnetic field.
What is the magnitude of the electric field due to a proton at a distance r NM?
The magnitude of the electric field is 2.5.
