A negative charge, if free, will tend to move from high potential to low potenti

Question

A negative charge, if free, will tend to move from high potential to low potential. from low potential to high potential. In the direction of the electric field. toward infinity. away from infinity. A negative charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. Which of the following statements must be true for this case? Work is done in moving the negative charge from point A to point B. the work done on the charge depends on the distance between A and B. Work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B. No Work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B. the negative charge performs work in moving from point A to point B.

Explanation / Answer

(12)

Negative charge always moves from negative(low potential)to positive (high potential) side.

So, option B is correct.

(13)

Work done on the charge is,

W=q(dV)

For equipotential surface, dV=0.

So, work done is zero.

Hence, option D is correct.
