Physics · Potential difference, equipotential surfaces, electrical potential energy of a system of two point charges and of electric dipole in an electrostatic field
Work done in moving an object through an equipotential surface is
Work done in moving an object through an equipotential surface is
- A. Positive
- B. Negative
- C. zero
- D. Depends on the field direction
Step-by-step solution
Work done on a charge moving along an equipotential surface is zero because the change in electric potential (ΔV) is zero. Work done = qΔV = 0.
