a. A circle is drawn with center as a charge +q. What is the work done in moving a charge +q from B to C along the circumferebce of the circle ? B In the above question, if the charge +q is first taken from B to A and then from A to C, on which path is the magnitude of work greater?

Assertion : In a uniform electric field electrons move in the opposite direction of electric field. Reason : This is because of the negative charge of an electron.

Charges +q and -q are placed at points A and B respectively which are a distance 2L apart, C is the midpoint between A and B . The work done in moving a charge +Q along the semicircle CRD is
