A point charge is moved from P to S in a uniform electric field of directed along positive x-axis. If coordinates of P and S are (1, 2, 0) m and (0, 0, 0) m respectively, the work done by electric field will be
- (A)1200 mJ
- (B)600 mJ
- (C)-600 mJ✓ Correct
- (D)-1200 mJ
Answer: (C)
Solution
The field is uniform, N/C, so the work it does depends only on the displacement along . Moving from to the displacement is m. The work done by the field is J. The electric field does mJ of work on the charge.
