What will be the amount of work done when a charge of `10mu C` is moved between two points on an equipotential surface.? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The surface is equipotential So, `Delta V`= change in potential or potential difference = 0
Also, `q= 10muC= 10 xx 10^(-6)C`
W= ?
`therefore Delta V= (W)/(q)`
`rArr` Work done, `W= Delta Vq= 0 xx 10 xx 10^(-6)= 0`
So, the work done on equipotential surface is zero.
