Given below are two statements :
Statement-I : A point charge is brought in an electric field. The value of electric field at a point near to the charge may increase if the charge is positive.
Statement-II : An electric dipole is placed in a non-uniform electric field. The net electric force on the dipole will not be zero.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Select the correct option:
A
Both statement-I and statement-II are true.
B
Both statement-I and statement-I are false.
C
Statement-I is true but statement-II is false.
D
Statement-I is false but statement-II is true.
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
If the electric field in the positive direction increases, the force on the positive charge is to the left of that point, and the electric field will increase. But if the force on the positive charge decreases, the electric field will decrease.
