उत्तर
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
Because the electrostatic force is a conservative force, there is never any work involved in relocating a charge along a closed path in an electric field. A force that conserves mechanical energy is referred to as conservative. The electrostatic force is a force that simply depends on the position of the charges, not their velocity. Therefore, the electrostatic force's effort in transporting a charge along a closed path depends only on the charge's initial and final positions and is independent of the path travelled.
