12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    Assertion (A): Work done in moving a charge between any two points in a uniform electric field is independent of the path followed by the charge between these two points.
    Reason (R):  Electrostatic forces are non- conservative.

    A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true but R is false

    D) A is fake and R is True

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Option [c] is correct.
    Explanation: Work done in moving a charge between any two points in a uniform electric field = charge \[\times \] potential difference. So, it is independent of the path followed by the charge. Hence the assertion is true.
    Electrostatic forces are conservative type.
    Hence, the reason is false.
