PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 1 Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

The work or energy difference associated with an electrostatic field exhibits which property?
Options
A It always depends on the path taken.
B It does NOT depend on the path taken.
Correct Answer
C It is always zero, regardless of path.
D It depends only on the speed of the charges.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 30's comparison table states for Electrostatic Field: 'Work or energy difference does NOT depend on path.' This is a direct consequence of an electrostatic field being conservative.

Hint

For a conservative field, the work done in moving a charge between two points is independent of the path taken.
