1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy
A charge particle is free to move in an electric field. It will travel
A
Always along a line of force
B
Along a line of force, if its initial velocity is zero
C
Along a line of force, if it has some initial velocity in the direction of an acute angle with the line of force
D
None of the above
(IIT-1979)
Solution
(b) Because $E$ points along the tangent to the lines of force. If initial velocity is zero, then due to the force, it always moves in the direction of $E$. Hence will always move on some lines of force.
