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, `DeltaV=` change in potential or potential difference = 0
Also, `q=10muC=10xx10^(-6)C,W=?`
`:.DeltaV=(W)/(q)`
`rArr" "W=DeltaVq=0xx10xx10^(-6)=0`
So, the work done on equipotential surface is zero.
