Question

Work done in carrying a charge around an equipotential surface will (A) increase (B) decrease (C) zero (D) infinity

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Work done W=Δ V × q Δ V= potential difference On equipotential surface, all the points are at same potential, so, potential difference is zero hence, work done will be zero.

zero

infinity

Work done
$W = Δ V \times q$
$Δ V =$ potential difference On equipotential surface, all the points are at same potential, so, potential difference is zero hence, work done will be zero.
