A beam of particles enters a uniform electric field, as

A beam of particles enters a uniform electric field, as shown below. The beam consists of the following particles: Particle 4, with mass m and charge +q, particle B. with mass 2m and charge +q, particle C, with mass m and charge -q, and particle D, with mass 2m and charge -q. On the diagram, indicate the motion of each of the particle types as the beam enters the field. This should be a qualitative sketch - you'll be graded on correctly indicating which particle streams separate, and in which directions, not on the exact correctness of any curves. Make sure your diagram is clearly labeled, and provide an explanation for the motion of each particle type.
