Electric Charges and Fields

Question:

Electrostatics deals with the study of forces, fields and potential arising from static charges. Which of the following statements are correct?

(A) Electrostatic force is a conservative force
(B) Charge is quantized because only integral number of electrons can be transferred from one body to the other
(C) In a uniform electric field E, an electric dipole experiences a torque 7 and a net force F.
(D) The electric field lines start from positive charges and end at negative charges. If there is a single charge, these may start or end at infinity.
(E) If the uniform surface charge density of an infinite plane sheet is positive, the electric field is directed away from the plate.
