- Assertion (A): Work done in moving a charge around a closed path, in an electric field is always zero.
- Reason (R): Electrostatic force is a conservative force.
पर्याय

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.
उत्तर
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
Because the electrostatic force is a conservative force, there is never any work involved in relocating a charge along a closed path in an electric field. A force that conserves mechanical energy is referred to as conservative. The electrostatic force is a force that simply depends on the position of the charges, not their velocity. Therefore, the electrostatic force's effort in transporting a charge along a closed path depends only on the charge's initial and final positions and is independent of the path travelled.
