Question : 16
Total: 37
The work done in moving a charge particle between two points in an uniform electric field, does not depend on the path followed by the particle. Why?
Solution:
The work done to move a charge between two points in an electric field is W = q E d = q V
whereq =
E =
d =
V =
Hence, work done is independent of path following by the particle between the two points. It only depends on the difference of potentials of the two points.
