The statement that describes how work and power are similar is D. you must know time and energy to calculate both.
I am not completely sure though, so I hope this helps. :)
Do you have any answer choices?
Answer:
option D is correct
Explanation:
It is important to note that equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric field lines. No work is required to move a charge along an equipotential, since ΔV = 0. Thus the work is :
W = −ΔPE = −qΔV = 0.
Work is zero if force is perpendicular to motion. Force is in the same direction as E, so that motion along an equipotential must be perpendicular to E. More precisely, work is related to the electric field by:
W = Fd cos θ = qEd cos θ = 0.
- The change in kinetic energy Δ K.E by conservation should be:
Δ K.E = W
Since, W = 0:
Δ K.E = 0
- If change in kinetic energy is zero it means that charge moves at a constant speed. Hence, option D is correct.
