Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

In a diagram, three charged particles are shown moving through a uniform electrostatic field. Particle X moves straight, particle Y curves towards the left, and particle Z curves towards the right. Which particle is most likely to have the highest charge to mass ratio?

Question diagram
A

Particle X

B

Particle Y

C

Particle Z

D

All particles have the same charge to mass ratio
