will be deviated by different angles and hence will separate Force on a charged particle, F = qVB For an electron, this force is F = −-eVB, whereas on a proton this force is F = eVB. Here, 'e' is the charge of the electron. So, from the above formulas, we can see that electrons and protons will experience equal force but in opposite directions; so they separate out. In other words, we can say that they are deviated by different angles and causes them to separate.
