Identify the WRONG statement

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

A charged particle free to move in an electric field shall always move in the direction of

\vec E

Option B is the WRONG statement because a charged particle will only move in the direction of the electric field if it's a positive charge and initially at rest. A negative charge will move opposite to the field, and if the particle has an initial velocity, its path will be curved.

The ratio of magnitude of electric displacement (D) and electric field (E) is Gauss’s Law is valid for In hydrogen like system the ratio of coulombian force and gravitational force between an electron and a proton is in the order of: Statement-1:

\overrightarrow{{E}}

in outside velocity of a conductor depends only on the local charge density

\alpha

\overrightarrow{{E}}

in outside vicinity of a conductor is given by

\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}
