Question

In an electrostatic field, path 1 between points A and B is twice as long as path 2. The electrostatic work done on a negatively charged particle that moves from A to B along path 1 is W1.
How much work is done on this particle if it later goes from A to B along path 2? Express your answer in terms of W1.

W2=??​

Answer 1

Answer:

W2 = W1

Explanation:

work is independent of the path taken between the points.
