Question
Physics Question on Electric charges and fields
An electrostatic field line never form closed loop. Electrostatic field is a conservative field.
A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
C
If assertion is true but reason is false
D
If both assertion and reason are false
Answer
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Explanation
Solution
Electrostatic field is a conservative field which means work done by an electrostatic field in moving a charge from one point to another depends only on the initial and the final positions and is independent at the path taken to go from one point to the another.
