Question

is it possible to accelerate neutron

Answer 1

Definitely.A neutron would experience an attractive force regardless of whether it is near a positive or a negative charge. But the force on a neutron placed in an electric field cannot be measured (coulomb's law can't help you)

Answer 2

neutrons have spin and also magnetic moment. The magnetic moment is like a compass (magnet), which behaves magnetically much like a small close loop of current. The compass certanly does not feel a neat force in a uniform magnetic field, it only tries to align to the field. However, if the field is not uniform there´s a total force and you can pull the magnet. This is what happens in Stern-Gerlach experiment when they found out that electrons indeed have intrinsic angular momentum, spin. The magnetic momen of neutrons is the basis of Neutron Spectroscopy used in characterzing materials.

Answer 3

dear
rajathsbhat if you using mass to mass attraction then the force due to electron is 1.36*10^-47 and the acceleration due to this fore is 8.19*10^-21 i don't think is reasonable acceleration

Answer 4

but don't you think that charge separation takes place when a neutron is placed in an electric field and hence gets attracted electrostatically? (this is like the attraction experienced by paper bits when brought near a charged comb)
If so it shouldn't matter whether it is kept near a positive charge or a negative charge.
Further if a neuron is kept midway between a positive and a negative charge of equal strength, it will not experience a net force (neglecting gravitational attraction)

Answer 5

neutron is a neural particle .how charge separation take place of neutron?

Answer 6

I think Neutron can be accelarted, but it won't be in circular motion, it will be in linear. and as Charge sepration is difficult to take place, Heavy energy is needed to accelarate it
