Electron Under an Electric Field
When an electron is placed in an electric field, it experiences a force due to the electric field. The direction of the force depends on the electron’s charge and the electric field’s direction. If the electron is negatively charged, it will experience a force in the opposite direction to the electric field. In contrast, if it is positively charged, it will experience a force in the same direction as the electric field.
The acceleration of an electron in an electric field can be calculated using the equation:
a = F/m
where,
- a is Acceleration of Electron
- F is Force on Electron due to Electric Field
- m is Mass of Electron
The force on an electron in an electric field can be calculated using the equation:
F = qE
where,
- F is Force on Electron
- q is Charge of Electron
- E is Electric Field Strength

Dual Nature of Matter
Dual Nature of Matter states that a matter exhibits both Particle Nature and Wave Nature. It means that when a matter is at rest it behaves like a particle and when it is moving it behaves like wave. Different Experiments have been performed to prove this by the science community.
In this article, we will look into this theory and understand the dual nature of matter. We will also learn the experiments that proved the dual nature of matter.
