Answer: Option B
Electric field is a region where a charge influences. Electric field at a point r distance away due to a charged particle is given by,
E = k q r 2
where k is force constant
for a positive charge electric field in inward direction and for a negative charge it is outward direction.
the force experienced by a charge when placed in an electric field is
F = E q
Thus combined electric filed of several charge causes acceleration
According to Newton's Second law a force cause an acceleration.
F = m a
