STATEMENT 1: The current density `vec J` at any point in ohmic resistor is in direction of electric field `vec E` at that point .
STATEMENT 2: A point charge when released from rest in a region having only electrostatic field always moves along electric lines of force.

A

Statement I is true, Statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
c. From relation `vecJ = sigma vecE`, the current density `vecJ` at any point in
ohmic resistor is in direction of electric field `vecE` at that point. In
space having nonuniform electric field, charges released from
rest may not move along EL. Hence, Statement I is true while
Statement II is false.
