Assertion: A small electric dipole is moved translatonally from higher potential to lower potential in uniform electric field. Work done by electric is positive.
Reason: When a positive charge is moved from higher potential to lower potential, work done by electric field positive.

A

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

C
