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.

The diagram shows a small bead of mass $m$ carrying charge $q$. The bead can freely move on the smooth fixed ring placed on a smooth horizontal plane. In the same plane a charge $+Q$ has also been fixed as shown. The potential atthe point $P$ due to $+Q$ is $V$. The velocity with which the bead should projected from the point $P$ so that it can complete a circle should be greater than
