In the following diagram,the work done in moving a point charge from point $P$ to points $A, B$ and $C$ are $W_A, W_B$ and $W_C$ respectively. Then ($A, B, C$ are points on a semicircle and point charge $q$ is at the centre of the semicircle):

  • A
    $W_A = W_B = W_C \neq 0$
  • B
    $W_A = W_B = W_C = 0$
  • C
    $W_A > W_B > W_C$
  • D
    $W_A < W_B < W_C$
