Study Notes

Electrostatic Field Properties

In an electrostatic field, the work done moving a charge along a closed path is always zero. This highlights the conservative nature of electrostatic forces.
The curl of the electrostatic field is zero, indicating that there are no rotational components and reinforcing its conservative characteristics.
The electrostatic field can be represented as the gradient of a scalar potential, known as the electric potential. This defines how electric potential changes in space.
Potential difference between two points within an electrostatic field is not always zero. In regions with a uniform electric field, potential differences can exist.

Incorrect Statement Identification

The incorrect statement among the provided options is (d). It assumes that the potential difference in all cases within an electrostatic field is zero, which is not true.
