Which among the following statement is true about the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from point P to Q in an electrostatic field?
A
Minimum work is done in case of path II.
B
Maximum work is done in case of path I.
C
Work done is same in all the three paths.
D
Work done is zero in case of path II.
Answer
Work done is same in all the three paths.
Explanation
Solution
: Work done on a unit charge +qby the electrostatic field due to any given charge configuration is independent of the path, and depends only on its initial and final positions.
