The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements given in the question, let's break them down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 **Statement 1:** If a charged particle enters into a uniform electric field, then its path must be a straight line. - When a charged particle enters a uniform electric field, it experiences a force due to the electric field. The force acting on the particle is given by the equation: \[ F = qE \] where \( q \) is the charge of the particle and \( E \) is the electric field strength. - This force will cause the charged particle to accelerate in the direction of the electric field. However, since the particle is subject to this force, its motion will not be in a straight line. Instead, the charged particle will follow a curved path (specifically, a parabolic trajectory) due to the continuous acceleration caused by the electric field. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** The statement is **false** because the path of the charged particle is not a straight line; it is curved. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 **Statement 2:** Electrostatic force on a positive charged particle is always in the direction of the electric field. - The electrostatic force acting on a charged particle in an electric field is indeed given by the same equation: \[ F = qE \] - For a positive charge, both \( q \) and \( E \) are positive, which means that the force \( F \) will also be in the same direction as the electric field. Therefore, the electrostatic force on a positive charge will always be directed along the electric field lines. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** The statement is **true** because the force on a positive charge is always in the direction of the electric field. ### Final Conclusion - Statement 1 is **false**. - Statement 2 is **true**. Thus, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.
