If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, then

  1. A work is done on the charge
  2. B work is done by the charge
  3. C work done is constant
  4. D no work is done
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) no work is done

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential difference between any two points on equipotential surface is zero. i.e., \(V_1-V_2=0\) \(\therefore\) Work done to move a unit positive charge from one point another, \(W=q\left(V_1-V_2\right)=q[0]=0\)
