Figure shows some equipotential lines distributed in space. A charged object is moved from point `A` to point `5`.

A

The work done in Fig. (i) is the greatest

B

The work done in fig. (ii) is least

C

The work done is the same in Fig. (i), fig (ii) and fig (iii)

D

The work done in fig. (iii) is greater than fig. (ii) but equal to that in

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The work done by a electrostatic force is given by `W_(12)=q(V_(2)-V_(1))`. Here initial and final potentials are same in all three cases and same cahrge is moved, so work done is same in all three cases.
