APFIVE Work on an Equipotential Surface
A charged particle moves from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. Which statement is correct about the work done by the electric field during this displacement?
A
Zero, because E is perpendicular to the displacement
B
Positive, because the particle follows the field lines
C
Zero, because the field is zero on equipotential surfaces
D
Negative, because the field opposes the motion
