An electric field can deflect _ .
Correct answer: D. None
- A. Neutrons
- B. X-rays
- C. Y-rays (Gamma rays)
- D. None
Explanation
An electric field exerts force on charged particles, causing them to move. Neutrons, X-rays, and gamma rays are all uncharged, and therefore, they are not influenced by electric fields. Neutrons are subatomic particles that lack charge, while X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation that also carry no charge. Hence, none of these can be deflected by an electric field.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
