We have four paths of workdone on a test charge 'q' by electrostatic field due to any given charge configuration. Which path will have maximum work done. |
Path ④ Path ① Path ② All paths have same work |
All paths have same work |
The correct answer is Option (4) → All paths have same work As electrostatic force is conservative force, the work done is independent of the path taken and is same for any path connecting two points. |
