    This question has Statement-1 and that Statements-2. Of the four choice given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. [JEE ONLINE 25-04-2013]
    Statement 1: No work is required to be done to move a fest charge between any two pints on an equipotential surface.
    Statement 2: Electric lines of force at the equipotential surfaces are mutually perpendicular to each other

    A)             Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1

    B)             Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
