A charged solute is subjected to an electric field that accelerates the charge. It soon reaches a terminal velocity, v. If the force per unit particle is f, what is the final velocity?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the final velocity of a charged solute in an electric field is given by v = D / kT f, where D is the diffusion coefficient, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, and f is the force per unit particle.
