PhysicsSingle correct+4 / -1Question 38 of 90

Given below are two statements :

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 non-uniform electric field. The net electric force on the dipole will not be zero.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Both statement-I and statement-II are true.

Both statement-I and statement-II are false.

Statement-I is true but statement-II is false.

Statement-I is false but statement-II is true.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A

Statement I. A positive charge's own field can add to the external field nearby: true.

Statement II. In a non-uniform field the forces on the two charges of a dipole are unequal, so the net force is not zero: true.

(A)
