In the following diagram the work done in moving a point charge from point `P` to point `A, B` and `C` is respectively as `W_(A), W_(B) and W_(C)`, then

A

`W_(A) = W_(B) = W_(C)`

B

`W_(A) = W_(B) = W_(C) = 0`

C

`W_(A) gt W_(B) gt W_(C)`

D

`W_(A) lt W_(B) lt W_(C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Charge when moved in a space of no field, does not experience any force and no work is done.
`W_(A) = W_(B) = W_(C) = 0`
