Four charged particles are placed at the vertices of square as shown in the figure. An electron that is free to move is placed at the exact center of the square. In which direction will the electron move?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Net force on the electron will be zero along the diagonal AC. It will move towards D due to attraction by the proton.
