Q.A positive charge +q is located at a point P. What would be the value of the work done if another point charge +q, is taken from point A to point B on the circumference of a circle drawn about the point P ? Why ?

A circle drawn around a point charge is an equipotential surface, so moving a charge once around it and back to the start involves zero net work.

A point charge +q at the centre produces a potential $V = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\dfrac{q}{r}$ that depends only on the distance r from the charge. Every point on the circumference of a circle of radius r is at the same distance r from the centre, so every point on the circle is at the same potential — the circle is an equipotential curve.

Work done in moving a charge between two points depends only on the potential difference between them; since A and B are equidistant from P, they are at the same potential, so W = 0.

The electric potential due to a point charge $+q$ at P, at a distance $r$ from it, is

$V(r) = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}$

Since A and B both lie on the circumference of a circle centred at P, they are at the SAME distance $r$ from P, so

$V_A = V_B$

The work done in moving a charge $q$ from A to B is

$W = q(V_B - V_A) = q(0) = 0$
