Answer to Question #138932 in Electricity and Magnetism for amal kumar maiti

Question

Consider the two statements given below.
A. It is possible to describe electrostatic energy as coming from places where there is a charge density.

B. It is possible to describe electrostatic energy as coming from places where there is an electric field.

(a) A is correct but B is wrong

(b) B is correct but A is wrong

(c) Both A and B are wrong

(d) Both A and B are correct.

Answer 1

Answer (d) Both A and B are Correct.

because Electrostatic energy is the energy used to get stored into electric field , and where there is charge density so there must be electric field due to that so electrostatic energy too, will be there. And also same case with electric field , energy has direct relation with electric field so B is TRUE, and indirectly charge density is related to energy hence A is also TRUE.
