Q124 / 180 · AIIMS 2012 · Physics

Assertion : An electrostatic field line never form closed loop.Reason : Electrostatic field is a conservative field.

  • A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • Correct answer
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

Electrostatic field is a conservative field which means work done by an electrostatic field in moving a charge from one point to another depends only on the initial and the final positions and is independent at the path taken to go from one point to the another.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
