In what direction will a negatively charged particle accelerate in an electric field?Group of answer choicesIn the same direction as fieldIn opposite direction as fieldPerpendicular to fieldImpossible to tell
Solution
A negatively charged particle will accelerate in the opposite direction as the field. This is because electric fields point in the direction that a positive charge would move. Therefore, a negative charge will move in the opposite direction.
