Question

Assertion (A): A negative charge in an electric field moves along the direction of the electric field.

Reason (R): On a negative charge a force acts in the direction of the electric field.

Options

• Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is correct explanation of (A).

• Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is not correct explanation of (A).

• (A) is true, but (R) is false.

• (A) is false and (R) is also false.

Answer 1

(A) is false and (R) is also false.

Explanation:

The assertion is wrong since the electron moves in the opposite direction of the electric field. The reason is also false since, on negative charge, force acts in the opposite direction of the electric field.
