Question
Which of the following statement is not true?
✓
Answer
- Electrostatic force is non-conservative.
Work done by the electrostatic force is independent of the path followed by it, and it depends only on the initial and final positions. For example, work done in moving a unit positive charge in a closed loop of an electric field is zero. So,electrostatic force is a conservative force.
