Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
I. In electrostatics all charges whether free or bound, are considered to be at rest.
II. The charges in motion constitute an electric current.

Options

A. Both l and II are correct
B. I is correct and II Is incorrect
C. I is incorrect and II is correct
D. I and II both are incorrect

Answer

To determine which of the statements is/are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one.

### Step 1: Analyze Statement I
**Statement I:** In electrostatics, all charges whether free or bound, are considered to be at rest.

- **Explanation:** Electrostatics is the study of electric charges at rest. In this context, both free charges (like electrons) and bound charges (like those in atoms) are considered to be stationary. This is a fundamental concept in electrostatics, as it allows us to analyze electric fields and forces without considering the effects of moving charges.

- **Conclusion:** Statement I is **correct**.

### Step 2: Analyze Statement II
**Statement II:** The charges in motion constitute an electric current.

- **Explanation:** Electric current is defined as the flow of electric charge. For a current to exist, charges must be in motion and must have a specific direction. If charges are moving randomly without a defined direction, they do not constitute a current. Therefore, while it is true that moving charges can create an electric current, the statement is misleading because it does not specify that the charges must be moving in a particular direction to constitute a current.

- **Conclusion:** Statement II is **incorrect**.

### Final Answer
- Statement I is correct.
- Statement II is incorrect.
