Statement-1. For a charged particle moving from point `P` to point `Q`, the net work done by an electrostatic field on the particle is independent of the path connecting point `P` to point `Q`
Statement-2. The net work done by a conservatie force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.

A

Both Statement-1 & Statement-2 are correct & Statement-2 is the correct explanation of Statement-1 (

B

Both Statement-1 & Statement-2 are correct & Statement-2 is not the correct explanation of Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is correct but Statement-2 is incorrect

D

Statement-2 is correct but Statement-1 is incorrect

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Work done by conservative force does not depend on the path, Because electrostatic force is a conservative force.
