Important Questions on Electrostatics

Statement : For a charged particle moving from point to point the net work done by an electrostatic field on the particle is independent of the path connecting point to point
Statement : The net work done by a conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.






This questions has Statement and Statement Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
An insulating solid sphere of radius has a uniformly positive charge density As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of the electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point outside the sphere. The electric potential at infinity is zero.
Statement : When a charge is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere its potential energy changes by
Statement : The electric field at a distance from the centre of the sphere is
