Tick the incorrect option.

• Electrostatic force is a conservative in nature.

• Two identical metallic spheres of exactly equal masses are taken. One is given a positive charge Q Coulombs and the other an equal negative charge. Their masses after charging are different.

• The electric force between two charges changes, if we bring a third charge closer to them.

• Electrostatic force is both attractive and repulsive.
