Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: $A$ point charge is brought into an electric field. The value of the electric field at a point near 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:

  • A
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are true.
  • B
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are false.
  • C
    Statement-$I$ is true but Statement-$II$ is false.
  • D
    Statement-$I$ is false but Statement-$II$ is true.
