In the electric field of a point charge $+q$, a certain charge is carried from point $A$ to points $B, C, D$ and $E$ along the paths shown in the figure. Then the work done:

  • A
    Is least along the path $AB$
  • B
    Is least along the path $AD$
  • C
    Is zero along all the paths $AB, AC, AD$ and $AE$
  • D
    Is least along $AE$

What is the angle between an equipotential surface and electric lines of force (in $^{\circ}$)?

$A$ metallic sphere has a charge of $10\,\mu C$. $A$ unit negative charge is brought from $A$ to $B$,both $100\,cm$ away from the sphere,with $A$ being east of it and $B$ being west of it. The net work done is........$joule$.

Assertion: Two equipotential surfaces cannot cut each other.
Reason: Two equipotential surfaces are parallel to each other.

In moving from $A$ to $B$ along an electric field line,the electric field does $6.4 \times 10^{-19} \, J$ of work on an electron. If $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ are equipotential surfaces,then the potential difference $(V_C - V_A)$ is.....$V$.
