Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

What do you mean? I'm confused... You need to put the rest of the question
Answer:
A. Zero
Explanation:
Given data,
The charge of the test charge, q = 1 C
The distance the charge moved against the filed of intensity, x = 30 cm
= 0.3 m
The electric field intensity, E = 50 N/C
The energy stored in the charge at 0.3 m is given by the formula,
V = k q/r
Where,
= 9 x 10⁹ Nm²C⁻²
The charge is moved from the potential V₁ to V₂ at 30 cm
Substituting the given values in the above equation
V₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x 30 / 0.3
= 1.5 x 10¹² J
And,
V₂ = 1.5 x 10¹² J
The energy stored in it is,
W = V₂ - V₁
= 0
Hence, the energy stored in the charge is, W = 0
