If a point charge is taken throgh some distance in a circle around a charge q, what will be the the work done?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When charge q is at the center of the circle, of the circle, the work done will be zero because electric potential at every point the circle is same.
When charge q is not at the center of circle, the work doen will not be zero, because the electric potential at different points of the circle will be different.
