A particle experiences an acceleration a₀ directed west, resulting in an electric field expressed as E = F/q = ma₀/e (west). If the particle instead undergoes an acceleration of 3a₀ directed east, the magnetic field is described by B = 2ma₀/ev₀ (downward). Which of the following is correct?

1. The electric field is E = F/q = ma₀/e (west).
2. The magnetic field is B = 2ma₀/ev₀ (downward).
3. Both the electric and magnetic field statements are accurate.
4. Neither the electric nor the magnetic field statements are accurate.

Correct answer: Both the electric and magnetic field statements are accurate.

Solution

Both statements are correct as they are consistent with the given conditions and the relationships for electric and magnetic fields. The electric field is proportional to the acceleration, and the magnetic field depends on the velocity and charge.
