An electric line of forces in the x-y plane is given by the equation `x^2+y^2=1`. A particle with unit poistive charge, initially at rest at the point `x=1`, `y=0` in the x-y plane, will move along the circular line of force.

A

not move at all

B

will move along straight line

C

will move along the circular line of force

D

information is insufficient to draw any conclusion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The equation `x^(2) + y^(2) = 1` , represents a circle, and so particle will move along circular line of force .
