Figure shows some equipotential lines distributed in space. A charged object is moved from point `A` to point `5`.

A

The work done in Figure (i) is the greatest

B

The work done in Figure (ii) is least

C

The work done is the same in Figure (i), Figure (ii) and Figure (iii)

D

The work done in Figure (iii) is greater than Figure (ii), but equal to that in Figure (i)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The work done by the electrostatic force is given by `W_(12)=q(V_(2)-V_(1))`
As the potential difference between A and B in all three figures are equal, 20 V, so work done by any charge in moving from A to B surface will be equal.
