HEY DEAR
THEY WILL EXPERIENCE SAME FORCE BUT NOT SAME ACCELERATION
BECAUSE F-qE WHERE q IS CHARGE WHICH IS SAME FOR BOTH PARTICLE AND E IS ELECTRIC FIELD WHICH IS ALSO SAME
HENCE FORCE ON BOTH PARTICLES IS SAME
BUT....
WE KNOW F=ma where a is acceleration and m is mass. As mass is different for both particles hence they will not experience same acceleration
Thanks
