A charge particle is free to move in an electric field. It will travel

A

Always along a line force

B

Along a line of force, if its initial velocity is zero

C

Along a line of force, if has some initial velocity in the direction of an acute with the line of force

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Because `E` point along the tangent to the line of force. If initial velocity is the zero, then due to the force, it always moves in the direction of `E`. Hence will always move on some lines of force.
