A circle is drawn with centre as charge ...

A circle is drawn with centre as charge +q.
a. What is the work done in moving a charge +q from B to C along the circumference of the circle?
If the charge +q is first taken from B to A and then from A to C, on which path work done will be more?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. No work is done. (Equi potential surface property)
b. Work done will be same. (p.d. is same irrespective of path)
