Electric Field Lines
The trajectory of a positively charged particle will always follow the field lines.
The trajectory of a positively charged particle will always follow the field lines.
A) True
A) True
B) False
B) False
Solution: B. For a positively charged particle, the field lines will indicate the direction of the force and therefore the direction of the acceleration (assuming no other forces). But they do not in general indicate the direction of the velocity or displacement.
