Consider an electric field of the form: \(\vec E=K(y\hat i+x\hat j)\)
where \(K\) is a constant, and \(x,y\) are the coordinates.
Statement I: If a charged particle is taken along the \(x\)-axis, no work will be done by the electric field.
Statement II: This electric field is conservative in nature i.e. it can be derived from a potential: \(V(x,y)=C-Kxy\)
 
1. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
