Question

Hello people ~

Which of the following statement is true?
(a) Electrostatic force is a conservative force.
(b) Potential at a point is the work done per unit charge in bringing a charge from any point to infinity.
(c) Electrostatic force is non-conservative
(d) Potential is the product of charge and work.
​

Answer 1

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that electrostatic force is path independent

It is the force present between the charges of atoms .

Hence it's conservative force.

Answer 2

In case of electrostatic force, the work done is independent of path, it only depends on the final and initial positions of the charge. This path independent nature makes electrostatic force a conservative force. Thus, the option a becomes true, and the opposite statement (ie.
