Select the correct statement :(Only force on a particle is due to electric field)

A

A charged particle always movies along the electric line of force

B

A charged particle may move along the line of force

C

A charged particle never move along the line of force

D

A charged particle moves along the line of force only if released from rest.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

If field is straight then the charge moves along the straight line .if the fielss is a curve then the electrostatic force is not sufficient to change the direction along the curved field line .

Select correct statement regarding pseudo force :-

Assertion : Electric field produced by a variable magnetic field can't exert a force on a charged particle. Reason : This electric field is non-conservative in nature.

Assertion: Uniform electric and magnetic field are applied along Y-axis andZ-axis respectively. Kinetic energy of particle released at rest from origin depends only on the y-coordinate of particle. Reason: Work done by the magnetic force is zero. Kinetic energy gained by the particle is only due to electric force
