A charge q is placed on an equipotential surface and electric field intensity at that place is E. What is the work done to move the charge by a distance x on the surface?(a) x*\(\frac {q}{E}\)(b) x*q*E(c) E*\(\frac {x}{q}\)(d) ZeroThe question was asked in quiz.Question is taken from Equipotential Surfaces in section Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (d) Zero

To EXPLAIN: As the surface is EQUIPOTENTIAL, all the points on the surface of the plane have the same potential values. THEREFORE work done to move the charge by a distance x on that surface is zero. The electric FIELD plays no role here.
