Under the action of a given coulombic force, the acceleration of an electron is 
. Then, the magnitude of the acceleration of a proton under the action of same force is nearly
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The acceleration of the electron due to given coulombic force, F is 
… (i)
where, m e is the mass of the electron.
The acceleration of the proton due to same force F is
… (ii)
where, m p is the mass of the proton.
On dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get
