MCQ
Which of the following statement is not 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 infinity to that point in an electric field.
  • C
    Electrostatic force is non-conservative.
  • D
    Potential is the ratio of work to charge.

Answer

  1. Electrostatic force is non-conservative.

Explanation:

Work done by the electrostatic force is independent of the path followed by it, and it depends only on the initial and final positions. For example, work done in moving a unit positive charge in a closed loop of an electric field is zero. So,electrostatic force is a conservative force.
