Question
A negative charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. Which of the following statements must be true for this case? A) The negative charge performs work in moving from point A to point B. B) Work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B. C) No work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B. D) The work done on the charge depends on the distance between A and B. E) Work is done in moving the negative charge from point A to point B.Explanation / Answer
C is correct option.
here is the explanation.
Workdone = q*delta_V
= q*0 (since, on equipotentail surface, delta_V = 0)
= 0
