STATEMENT 1: The current density `vec J` at any point in ohmic resistor is in direction of electric field `vec E` at that point .
STATEMENT 2: A point charge when released from rest in a region having only electrostatic field always moves along electric lines of force.

A

If both Assertion `&` Reason are True `&` the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion `&` Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is False.

D

If both Assertion `&` Reason are False.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
From relation `vecJ=sigmavecE`, the current density `vecJ` at any point in ohmic resistor is in direction of electric field `vecE` at the point. In space having non-uniform electric field, charges released from rest may not move along ELOF.

(a) Show that the normal component of electrostatic field has a discontinuity from one side of a charged surface to another given by (E_(2)-E_(1)).n = sigma/epsilon_(0) where hatn is a unit vector normal to the surface at a point and sigma is the surface charge density at that point. (The direction of hatn is from side 1 to side 2.) Hence, show that just outside a conductor, the electric field is sigma hatn //epsilon_(0) .
