Electrostatic Potential Energy

Charge q2q_2 is at the centre of a circular path with radius rr. Work done in carrying charge q1q_1, once around this equipotential path, would be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. The circle is an equipotential: start and end potentials are equal.
  2. W=q1ΔV=0W = q_1 \Delta V = 0
  3. So the answer is (c) zero.
