Question
How much work will be required to bring a test charge q, one em along the equatorial axis of an electric dipole?
✓
Answer
Since the potential at every point of the equatorial axis of a dipole is zero, therefore the potential difference between any two of its points $=0$, so the work $W =q \times \Delta V$ $=q \times 0=0$
