    The work done to move a unit charge along an equipotential surface from P to Q

    A) must be defined as \[-\int\limits_{P}^{Q}{\overrightarrow{E}\,}.\,d\overrightarrow{t}\]

    B) is zero

    C) can have a non-zero value

    D) both [a] and [b] are correct

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Work done to move a unit charge along an equipotential surface from P to Q, \[W=-\int\limits_{P}^{Q}{\overrightarrow{E}\,.\,\overrightarrow{dl}}\] On equipotential surface \[\overrightarrow{E}\,\bot \,\overrightarrow{dl}\] \[W=-\int\limits_{P}^{Q}{E\left( dl \right)\,\cos 90{}^\circ =0}\]
