Assertion: The electrostatic potential is necessarily zero at a point, where the electric field strength is zero.

Reason: A charged particle in an electric field will move from higher potential region to lower potential region.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: In a given situation of arrangement of charges, an additional charge is placed outside the Gaussian surface. In the Gauss' theorem E.ds=Qinε0,Qin remains unchanged whereas electric field E at the site of the element is changed.

Reason: Electric field at any point on the Gaussian surface is only due to inside charge.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: An electric charge is fixed in free space which produces an electric field around it. No work is done in displacing another charge from its position to any other position.

Reason: Electrostatic field is non conservative.
