Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Statement Based MCQ (Single Correct)

Statement I: Electrostatic potential is zero at a point, where the electric field is zero.

Statement II: The electric potential is constant in a given region, the electric field in that region is zero.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
