MCQ
Select the correct statement : (Only force on a particle is due to electric field)
  • A
    A charged particle always moves along the electric line of force.
  • A charged particle may move along the line of force
  • C
    A charge particle never moves along the line of force
  • D
    A charged particle moves along the line of force only if released from rest.

Answer

Correct option: B.
A charged particle may move along the line of force
b
If field is straight then the charge moves along the straight line. if the fielss is a curve then the electrostatic force is not sufficient to change the direction along the curved field line.
