STANDARD Physics Electric Field Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: In a uniform electric field electrons move in the opposite direction of electric field. Reason: This is because of the negative charge of an electron.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Electrons, being negatively charged, move opposite to the direction of the electric field. The reason correctly explains this behavior as it is due to their negative charge.
