The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "a charged particle free to move in an electric field always moves along an electric line of force." - In an electric field, a positive charge will indeed move along the direction of the electric field lines (from positive to negative). However, a negative charge will move in the opposite direction (from negative to positive). Therefore, the assertion is not universally true for all charged particles. 2. **Understanding Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "the electric lines of force diverge from a positive charge and converge at a negative charge." - This statement is true. Electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate at negative charges. This is a fundamental property of electric fields. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of A and R**: - Since assertion A is false (as it does not hold true for negative charges), and reason R is true, we can conclude that: - Assertion (A) is False. - Reason (R) is True. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluation, the correct option is that Assertion A is false and Reason R is true. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: Assertion (A) is false, and Reason (R) is true. ---
