A positive point charge is placed in an external electric field. When we release the point charge in a state of rest then electric force acting on it starts moving it. Will the point charge always follow the electric lines of force?

A particle having positive charge is released from rest in the electric field and moves under the influence of both electric field and gravity. The quantity connected with the charged particle that increases continuously with time is

Assertion: Electric field intensity at a point due to a positive charge is always opposite in direction to electric field intensity due to negative charge, and it is independent to locațions of charges. Reason: The direction of electric field due to a point charge is away from the positive charge and towards the negative charge along the line joining the point charge and location where the electric field is to be calculated.
