Question
A uniform electric field exists between two charged plates as shown in the fig. What should be the work done in moving a charge q along the closed rectangular path ABCDA?

✓

Answer

Work done in an electric field is independent of the path and depends only on the initial and final positions.
Here initial and final points are coincident,
Work = q × (Vfinal - Vinitial)
= q(VA - VA)
So, net work done is zero.
