Electrostatics Ques 2
An electric field line in the $x-y$ plane is given by the equation $x^2+y^2=1$. A particle with unit positive charge, initially at rest at the point $x=1, y=0$ in the $x-y$ plane, will move along the circular field line.

Answer:
Correct Answer: 2.( F )
Solution:
- Electric field lines of force does not represent the path of the charged particle but tangent to the path at any point on the line shows the direction of electric force on it and it is not always necessary that motion of the particle is in the direction of force acting on it.
