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 uniform electric field. The net electric force on the dipole will not be zero.
Options
- ABoth statement-I and statement-II are true.
- BBoth statement-I and statement-II are false.
- CStatement-I is true but statement-II is false.
- DStatement-I is false but statement-II is true.
Correct answer
C. Statement-I is true but statement-II is false.
Step-by-step solution
If a positive point charge is brought in an electric field. The value of electric field at a point near to the charge may increase or decreases. Hence, statement I is true.
An electric dipole experiences zero net force in a uniform electric field. Hence, statement II is false.
