12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank MCQ - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

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

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

    B) is zero

    C) can have a non-zero value

    D) Both (a) and (b) are correct

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d) Both (a) and (b) are correct Work done to move a unit charge along an equipotential surface from P to O, \[W=-\int_{P}^{Q}{\overrightarrow{E}\,.\,d\,\overrightarrow{l}}\] On equipotential surface \[\overrightarrow{E}\,\,\forall \,\,d\overrightarrow{l}\] \[W=-\int_{P}^{Q}{E\left( dl \right)}\,\cos \,90{}^\circ =0\]
