Question

A point charge is taken from a point A to point B in an electric field produced by stationary charges. Does the work done by the electric field depend on the path of the charge?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer 1

The correct option is B No

The electric field produced by stationary charges is conservative in nature. By conservative field we mean that the work done by the field in moving a charge between any two points is independent of the path and depends only on the initial and final point.
