Q. Assertion : An electrostatic field line never form closed loop.
Reason : Electrostatic field is a conservative field.

AIIMSAIIMS 2012Electric Charges and Fields

Solution:

Electrostatic field is a conservative field which means work done by an electrostatic field in moving a charge from one point to another depends only on the initial and the final positions and is independent at the path taken to go from one point to the another.
