Question
One of the following statements about electrical potential energy is incorrect:
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The electrostatic force is CONSERVATIVE, which means the work done (and hence the change in potential energy) depends only on the start and end points, NOT on the path taken. So statement (d) is the incorrect one.
