A positive test charge is b is released near a positive fixedcharge B. As b moves away from B, it will move with a) constant velocity b) constant acceleration c) increasing accel. d) decreasing accel. Can anyone please tell me what the answer would be andwhy?

Explanation / Answer
Acceleration depends upon theforce ( a = F/ m) as the particle moves away, force willreduce as inverse square of distance, hence the particle will moveaway with decreasing acceleration.
