What is the total work done on moving a test charge on an equipotential surface?(a) Maximum(b) Minimum(c) Constant(d) ZeroThis question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.The origin of the question is Electrostatics of Conductors in chapter Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (d) Zero

The explanation is: The potential difference between any two POINTS on an EQUIPOTENTIAL surface is zero.

Work done=Test charge X potential difference(0)

=Zero .
