Question

The work done in moving a positive charge from one point to another in an equipotential plane is?
Options
A Maximum
B Positive
C Negative
D Zero
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

By definition, all points on an equipotential surface have the same potential, so no work is done moving a charge between them (W = qΔV = 0).

Hint

Recall the defining property of an equipotential surface: no potential difference between any two points on it.
