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

Options

A. A charged particle always moves along the electric line of force
B. A charged particle may move along the line of force
C. A charge particle never moves along the line of force
D. A charged particle moves along the line of force only if released from rest

Answer

B

Explanation

Force on the charge at any instant will be along the field but the direction in which it moves will be along the velocity. In case the field lines are straight lines (uniform field) a charge particle moves along the line of force
