The proton now passes the point A between two parallel conducting plates
b across which a steady potential difference is maintained. The path of the
proton is shown in the diagram.

No. Question Mark

c An helium nucleus enters at point A with the same velocity as the proton.
Add its path to the diagram.

No. Question Mark

15c (ii) Explain your answer to (c)(i).
Answer
Explanation 2
Charge on a is double that on proton / has 2 protons / force on a is double
force on proton. (1)
Mass of a particle is (approx) 4 times / more than double that of the
proton. (1)
[hence acceleration is approximately halved].
