Question
In the electric field of a point charge q, a certain charge is carried from point A to B, C, D and E. Then the work done
- Is least along the path AB
- Is least along the path AD
- Is zero along all the paths AB, AC, AD and AE
- Is least along AE
The correct answer is: Is zero along all the paths AB, AC, AD and AE
ABCDE is an equipotential surface, on equipotential surface no work is done in shifting a charge from one place to another.
