Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An electric field can cause a charged particle to accelerate due to the electric force acting on the charge. Similarly, a gravitational field can cause any particle with mass, including charged particles, to accelerate due to gravitational force. A neutron field, however, does not exert a force on charged particles that would cause acceleration.
