NEET Physics Question - Electrostatics

Assertion (A): A charged particle is free to move in an electric field. It may or may not move along an electric line of force.

Reason (R): Initial conditions affect the motion of charged particle.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; a charged particle's path in an electric field depends on its initial velocity and the field's curvature. Reason (R) is also true, as the initial velocity and position are crucial 'initial conditions' determining the trajectory. Reason (R) directly explains why the particle's path may or may not follow a field line.
