Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

Work done on a test charge q by an electric field depends on;

Options:

The path of the point charge

The initial and final position of the point charge

Both of the above

None of the above

Correct Answer:

The initial and final position of the point charge

Explanation:

Work done on a test charge q by an electric field depends upon the potential strength of the final and initial position. Hence, it is independent of the path. This is because electrostatic force field is a conservative force field.
