Statement-1: When a charge is placed at rest in an electric field its path will always be along electric line of force.
Statement-2: The force on the charge is along the tangent drawn on electric field line.
Statement-2: The force on the charge is along the tangent drawn on electric field line.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Option D (Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true) is correct because while the force on a charge is along the tangent to the electric field line, the path of a charge placed at rest isn't always along the field line if the field line is curved.
