Question

What happens when a proton is fired without any positive or negative forces within the grid?

a. The proton will gradually curve upward c. The proton will pass straight through the grid without changing its path
b. The proton will gradually curve downward d. The proton will stop in the middle of the grid

Answer 1

When a proton is fired without any positive or negative forces within the grid the proton will pass straight through the grid without changing its path. A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom. The particle has a positive electrical charge, equal and opposite to that of the electron. If isolated a single proton would have a mass of 1.673 × 106-27 kg which is slightly less than that of a neutron.
