Is it by any chance the same 'D'..deuterium,,isotope of hydrogen ??
A deuteron and an α-particle are placed in an electric field. If F1 and F2 be the forces acting on them and a1 and a2 be their acclerations respectively,then
A. a1=a2.
B. a1 ≠a2.
C. F1=F2
D. F1≠F2
What exactly is a deuteron ??

deuteron is the nucleus of deuterium i.e. 12H+
So basically charge +1 e and mass no. 2
So, a1=a2 (F=Eq and a=Eq/m) (q/m for α-particle = 1/2 and q/m for deuteron is 1/2)
and F1≠F2 (as F=Eq and E is constant)

a1=a2
and F1=F2
and ashish have given the correct explaination and i agree wid him
