Electrostatics Question 228
An electric field line in the xy plane is given by equation $ x^{2}+y^{2}=1 $ . A particle with unit positive charge, initially at rest at the point $ x=1,\ y=0 $ in the $ xy $ plane
Options:
A) Not move at all.
B) Will move along a straight line
C) Will move along the circular path of the magnetic field lines
D) Information is insufficient to draw any conclusion
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
