NEETPhysics-Electrodynamics
NEET Physics Motion in Electric and Gravitational Fields Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium
Statemen : If an electron and proton are freely falling under gravity from a certain distance then time to reach the ground is same. Statemen : If an electron and proton are made to fall a certain distance in a uniform electric field time taken by electron is MORE than proton (neglect gravitational effect).
A
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is false.
B
Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.
C
Both Statements are True
D
Both statements are False
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
In a gravitational field, both particles fall at the same rate. In an electric field, the proton takes less time due to its larger mass and smaller acceleration compared to the electron.
