Question: Identical charged pellets are released from rest from equidistant starting lines A, B, and C in Figure P24.21, in a region of nonuniform electric field.

Identical charged pellets are released from rest from equidistant starting lines A, B, and C in Figure P24.21, in a region of nonuniform electric field.

(a) Rank the pellets according to the time interval it takes the pellet on line \(\mathrm{A}\) to cross line B, the pellet on B to cross C, and the pellet on C to cross D, smallest interval first.

(b) How does your answer to part \(a\) change if each pellet is given an identical initial velocity directed upward along lines A, B, and C?
