What is charges accelerated along the field?Show answer
A charge released in a uniform field accelerates along the field lines (positive charges follow the field, negative charges go against it). The acceleration is constant:
What is charges fired across the field?Show answer
If a charge enters a uniform field moving perpendicular to it, the motion splits into two independent parts, just like a projectile:
