In a certain region, electric field `E` exists along the x - axis which is uniform. Given `AB = 2 sqrt(3) m` and `BC = 4 m`. Points A, B, and C are in `x y` plane.
.
A charged particle `q` is moved from A to C as shown in path `1`. What is the work done by electric field in this process ?

A

2 q E

B

5 q E

C

q E

D

4 q e

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`W_(e 1) = q (V_A - V_C)`
=`q(V_A - V_B) + (V_B - V_C) = q (3 E + 2 E) = 5 q E`.
