Question

Assertion: 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.
Reason : The net work done by a conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.
  1. If both Assertion arid Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  3. If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  4. If Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

A
If both Assertion arid Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
C
If Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
D
If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The electrostatic field exerts a conservative force on a charged particle. So, net work done on charged particle depend only on end points, not on the actual path.
Hence, Option A is correct.
