In a region of space, there is a possiblity of electric or magnetic field. We have to distinguish whether it is electric or magnetic field, using charged particles of same polarity, which can be fired in the field. This can be done by firing charges

Answer»

perpendicular to the field
parallel to the field
with different speeds
from opposite directions

Solution :Electric field will APPLY force on charges in its direction only as the charges are positive EVEN if we PROJECT them from opposite directions. If we project the particles from opposite directions in the magnetic field, then the direction of the masnetic force will be opposite for both the particles. It means that on firing particles from opposite directions, if they deviate in the same direction, then the field MUST be electric and if they are found to deviate opposite, then it must be the magnetic field. Hence, option (d) is correct.
