Is it possible to move a charge in an electric field without doing work? If so, how ?
plz explain
Answers
Answer:
Yes, it is. By moving in a vertical path.
Explanation:
The work done by the electric field is the force exerted by it on the charge for a distance d . The work done is a dot product between the force and the distance in the form
W = F.d = |F| |d| cos Θ
Where θ is the angle between the lines of the electric field and the moving charges. If the charge move in a vertical path to the lines, the angle will be 90 and in this case the work done will be zero.
W = F.d = |F| |d| cos 90 = 0
Hence, the answer is yes, it is possible when the charge moves in a vertical path to the electric field
Answer:
yes it is possible.
Explanation:
if there is path in an electric field that has same potential in all points of the path then we move a charge through this path .
So this is not work done
