MCQ
Work done in moving an object through an equipotential surface is:
  • A
    Positive
  • B
    Negative
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    Depends on the field direction

Answer

  1. Zero

Explanation:

Work done is given difference in potentials. In an equipotential surface, all points will have same potential. Thus work done is zero
