  • 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

    A
    electric charge
    B
    kinetic energy
    C
    electric potential energy
    D

  • 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.

    A
    If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion .
    B
    If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
    C
    If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect
    D
