Assertion (A): Work done in moving a charge between any two points in a uniform electric field is independent of the path followed by the charge between these two points.
Reason (R ): Electrostatic forces are non-conservative.

Options

A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C. A is true but R is false
D. A is false and R is True

Answer

C

Explanation

Work done in moving a charge between any two points in a uniform electric field = charge `xx` potential difference. So, it is independent of the path followed by the charge. Hence the assertion is true.
Electrostatic forces are conservative type. Hence, the reason is false.
