A point charge is taken from a pint A to a pint B in an electric field. Does the work done by the electric field depend on the path of the charge ?

A Point Charge In An Electric Field

When charge 10 mu C is shifted from inifinity to a point in an electric field, it is found that work done by eletrotatic forces is 10 muJ . If the charge is doubled and taken again from inifinity to the same point without accelerating it, then find the amount of work done by electric field and against electric field.

A point charge q is rotated along a circle in the electric field generated by anotherj point charge Q. The work done by the electric field on the rotatin charge in one complete revolution is

Electric field due to point charge

A charge is moved in an electric field of a fixed charge distribution from point A to another point B slowly. The work done by external agent in doing so is 100J . What is the change in potential energy of the charge as it moves from A to B ? What is the work done by the electric field of the charge distribution as the charge moves from A to B ?

An electric dipole is kept in the electric field produced by a point charge

Assertion(A): A point charge q is rotated along a circle around another point charge Q .The work done by electric field on the field on the rotating charge in half revolution is zero. Reason (R ) :No work is done to move a charge on an equipotential line or surface.
