Question

A positive charge of +5.1 C starts at point A, then moves to point B, then to point C and then back to point A.

2) How much work is done by the electric field when the charge moves from point A to point B?

WA-B =

3) What is the difference in potential energy of the charge when it moves from point A to point B?

U = UB - UA =

5) How much work is done by the electric field when the charge moves from point B to point C?

WA-B =

6) What is the difference in potential energy of the charge when it moves from point B to point C?

U = UC - UB =

Please help and show work!

The net (work done/change in potential energy) on the charge is zero.

Because electric force is conservative force and here net displacement by the particle is zero.
