Potential and Potential Energy Relation

Why is there ...

Question

Why is there no wrk done in moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface?

Open in App

Solution

Equipotential surface is that surface in which all the points of the surface are at the same electric potential.If a test charge is moved between any two such type of points through any path,the work done will be zero.
Potential difference=W/q
W=0
