Two equal and opposite charges of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are accelerated in a uniform electric field through the same distance. What is the ratio of their accelerations if the ratio of their masses is $\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=0.5$?

  • A
    $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=0.5$
  • B
    $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=1$
  • C
    $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=2$
  • D
    $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=3$
