Statement I : A small electric dipole is moved translationally from higher potential to lower potential in uniform electric field. Work done by electric field is positive.
Statement II : When a positive charge is moved from higher potential to lower potential, work done by electric field is positive.

Options

A. Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
B. Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I
C. Statement I is True, Statement II is False
D. Statement I is False, Statement II is True

Answer

D

Explanation

Since the dipole consists of two equally opposite charges at a small distance the work done is zero.
