Answer 2

Answer:

The Correct Answer would be Zero. Work done by a charge on an equipotential path is Zero.

Explanation:

What is Equipotential Path?

An Equipotential path is where the potential remains constant all across the path. It means the work done for bringing any charge from infinity to a point on that path is same for all the points across the path. The potential is thus, constant all across the path.

Now, if the potential is constant, that means there is no work done in moving a charge from one point to another on that path. Because potential is same, so work done at a point a would be equal to work done at any other point x. So,

                                 Wₐₓ = Wₓₐ   ⇒    Wₐₓ - Wₓₐ = 0

Therefore, work done in moving a charge around an equipotential path is Zero.
