2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
hard

This question has Statement $-1$ and Statement $-2$ Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements

Statement $1$ : No work is required to be done to move a test charge between any two points on an equipotential surface

Statement $2$ : Electric lines of force at the equipotential surfaces are mutually perpendicular to each other

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
