Question
Which of the following is/are correct about static electricity? It is a branch of physics concerned with: I. acceleration of electric charges II. stationary electric charges III. slow-moving electric charge
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Electrostatics studies charges that are at rest (stationary). Statement I (accelerating charges) belongs to electrodynamics, not electrostatics. Statement III (slow-moving charge) is also not the definition of static electricity. Only statement II is correct.
Hint
Electrostatics studies charges that are at rest (stationary).
