A test charge q is moved without acceleration along the path from A to B from B to C in electric field E as shown in fig.

(i) Calculate the potential difference between A and C.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`V_(A) - V_(C) = -int_(2)^(6)vec(E ) cdot dvec(x) = -int_(2)^(6) Edx cos 0^(@) = -int_(2)^(6) Edx`
`=-E int_(2)^(6) dx = -4E`
`:. V_(C ) - V_(A) = 4E`.
