| Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason: |
| (R). Mark the correct choice as: |
| Assertion (A): The electric lines of forces diverges from a positive charge and converge at a negative charge. |
| Reason (R): A charged particle free to move in an electric field always move along an electric Line of force. |
A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
C) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false
D) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
(c) If the charged particle is initially at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric line of force. But when the initial velocity of charged particle makes some angle with the line of force, then the resultant path is not along the line of force. Because electric line of force may not coincide with the line of velocity of the charge.
