Answer to Question #207113 in Physics for peaches

Question

Compare and Contrast electrostatic electric field and non electrostatic/induced electric field.

Answer 1

Specifically, the induced electric field is nonconservative because it does net work in moving a charge over a closed path, whereas the electrostatic field is conservative and does no net work over a closed path. Hence, electric potential can be associated with the electrostatic field, but not with the induced field.
