Moving Charge in Electric Field

Assertion (A): A moving charge particle may gets energy from electric field.
Reason (R): Electric field works on moving charge.
 
(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

An electric field exerts a force \( \vec{F} = q\vec{E} \) on a charge `\( q \)`. If the charge moves, work \( W = \int \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{l} \) can be done, changing its energy. Hence, both are true and (R) explains (A).
