In the electric field of a point charge ...

In the electric field of a point charge Q placed at the centre of a circle, as shown in fingure, a certain test charge `q_0` is carried from point A to B, C B and D. Then the work done

A

is least along the path AB.

B

is least along the path AC.

C

is same along all the three paths AB, AC as well as AD and has a finite value.

D

is zero for all the three paths.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Points A, B, C and D are all at same potential.
