NEET Physics Potential Difference Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The potential difference between two points in an electric field is independent of the path taken. | Reason (R): Electrostatic force is a conservative force.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential difference is path-independent due to the conservative nature of electrostatic forces, as noted in the NCERT context.
