AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "The direction of force on a charge in electric field is always along the direction of electric field" is true or false, we can analyze the relationship between electric field, charge, and force. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electric Field**: - An electric field (E) is a region around a charged object where other charges experience a force. The direction of the electric field is defined as the direction a positive test charge would move. 2. **Force on a Charge**: ...
