Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  1. The diagrams below show regions of equipotentials. [2017]
    (a)
    (b)
    (c)
    (d)
    A positive charge is moved from A to B in each diagram.
    1. In all the four cases the work done is the same
    2. Minimum work is required to move q in figure (a)
    3. Maximum work is required to move q in figure (b)
    4. Maximum work is required to move q in figure (c)
Correct Option: A

As the regions are of equipotentials, so Work done W = q∆V
​∆V is same in all the cases hence work - done will also be same in all the cases.
