Figure shows tracks of three charged particles in a uniform electrost

1.	Figure shows tracks of three charged particles in a uniform electrostatic field. Give the signs of the three charges. Which particle has the highest charge to mass ratio?
Answer» Charges (1) and (2) are negative as they were attracted by the positive plate and charge (3) is positive as it is deflected towards negative plate. Thus charge (3) has highest charge to mass ratio (as it would be a positive figure)

Answer»

Charges (1) and (2) are negative as they were attracted by the positive plate and charge (3) is positive as it is deflected towards negative plate.

Thus charge (3) has highest charge to mass ratio (as it would be a positive figure)
