Question 9

A chloride ion (Cl−\text{Cl}^-Cl−) is projected with a velocity v v\,v at an angle of 30∘ 30^\circ\,30∘ to the horizontal into a region of uniform electric field directed vertically downwards. The effect of gravity on the ion is negligible.

What is the direction of the acceleration of the chloride ion?

A

Vertically upwards

B

Vertically downwards

C

At 30∘30^\circ30∘ to the horizontal

D

At 60∘60^\circ60∘ to the horizontal
