As per the diagram a point charge +q is placed at the origin O. Work done in taking another point charge −Q from the point A [coordinates (0, a)] to another point B [coordinates (a, 0)] along the straight path AB is [figure]

  1. zero
  2. ( qQ4 0 1a2 ) 2a
  3. ( -qQ4 0 1a2 ) 2a
  4. ( qQ4 0 1a2 ) a 2

Answer

(1) zero

Solution

Both A (0, a) and B (a, 0) are at distance a from the charge +q at O.

VA = VB = 14 0 qa

W = (-Q)(VB - VA) = 0

As per NCERT, no work is done in moving a charge between two points of the same potential, whatever the path.
