Assertion is correct.
Reason is false as electric field inside the

1. Elec tro static force al ways acts along the line
join ing the two charges, hence net torque on
charge + 2q is al ways zero.
As net torque is zero angular momentum of
charge remains conserved.
Initial angular momentum
L m V R
i
= ° ( sin ) 30
When the separation between the charges
become minimum, direction of motion of
charge +2q become perpendicular to the line 
joining the charges.

9. As par ti cle co mes to rest, force must be
re pul sive, hence it is pos i tively charged.
Again on moving down its KE first increases
than decreases, PE will first decrease than
increase.
