Assertion: A charge particle is free to move along electric field. It does not move along an electric line of force?
Reason: Its initial position decides that it will move along the line of force or nor.

A

if both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

if Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

The charged particle may or may not move along an electric line of force. If the charged particle was initially at rest, it will move along an electric line of force. In case the charged particle has some initial velocity making certain angle with a line of force, then its resultant path will not be along the line of force.
