A positive charge (+q) is located at the centre of a circle as shown in figure. $W_1$ is the work done in taking a unit positive charge from A to B and $W_2$ is the work done in taking the same charge from A to C. Then. |
$W_1 > W_2$ $W_1 <W_2$ $ W_1 = W_2$ $W_1 = W_2 = 0$ |
$W_1 = W_2 = 0$ |
Point A, B and C are at the same distance from charge +q; hence electrical potential is the same at these points, i.e. There is no potential difference between A, B and C. Hence W1 = W2 = 0. |
