Q. If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, then

AIIMSAIIMS 2001Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

Since the potential at each point of an equipotential surface is the same, the potential does not change while we move a unit positive charge from one point to another. Therefore work done in the process is zero.
