Question

The figure shows three arrangements of electric field lines. In each arrangement, a proton is released from rest at point A and is then accelerated through point B by the electric field. Points A and B have equal separations in the three arrangements.

Rank the arrangements according to the linear momentum of the proton at point B.

  1. a: Third Greatest

    b: Second Greatest

    c: Greatest

  2. a: Greatest

    b: Second Greatest

    c: Third Greatest

  3. a: Second Greatest

    b: Greatest

    c: Third Greatest
