Statement-1 : For a charged particle moving from point P to point Q

Question:

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 closed loop is zero.

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

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

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

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


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

Work done by conservative force does not depend on the path. Electrostatic froce is a conservative force.
