The diagrams below show regions of equipotentials.
A positive charge is moved from A to B in each diagram.
A positive charge is moved from A to B in each diagram.
- AIn all the four cases the work done is the same.
- BMinimum work is required to move q in figure(I).
- CMaximum work is required to move q in figure (II).
- DMaximum work is required to move q in figure (III)

Correct answer: A
As the regions are of equipotentials, so Work done W = qV
V is same in all the cases hence work - done will also be same in all the cases.
