Question

An electric line of force in the xyplane is given by equation x2+y2=1. A particle with unit positive charge, initially at rest at the point x=1,y=0 in the xyplane.

A
Not move at all
B
Will move along straight line
C
Will move along the circular line of force
D
Information is insufficient to draw any conclusion
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is C Will move along the circular line of force
Charge will move along the circular line of force because x2+y2=1 is the equation of circle in xyplane.
