Electric field lines

Question

The figure shows electric fields lines in a region of space. A positively charged particle is released at some point P on the field line AB. then

Moderate

A

The particle will move along the line AB towards A
B

The particle will move along the line AB towards B
C

The particle will never move along the line AB
D

The particle will start moving perpendicular to the line AB.

Solution

Just after release, the particle will accelerate along the tangent drawn to the line of force AB at point P. So the particle will start moving along the tangent and leave the line AB.
