2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

This question contains Statement$-1$ and Statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
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 conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.

A

Statement$-1$ is true, Statement$-2$ is true; Statement$-2$ is the correct explanation of Statement$-1$.

B

Statement$-1$ is true, Statement$-2$ is true; Statement$-2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement$-1$.

C

Statement$-1$ is true, Statement$-2$ is false.

D

Statement$-1$ is false, Statement$-2$ is true.

Solution

Work done by conservative force does not depends on the path and also it is zero in closed loop.
