What is the amount of work done in moving a test charge of along an equipotential surface from a point A to a point B separated by a distance of ?
- A.
- B.ZeroCorrect answer
- C.
- D.
Solution
By definition, the electric potential at all points on an equipotential surface is the same. Therefore, the potential difference between any two points A and B on an equipotential surface is . The work done in moving a charge is .
