Which among the following statements is true about the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from point P to Q in an electrostatic field ?

A

Minimum work is done in case of path II.

B

Maximum work is done in case of path I.

C

Work done is same in all the three paths.

D

Work done is zero in case of path II.
