If a unit charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, then

work is done on the charge
work is done by the charge
work on the charge is constant
no work is done

-x2192- We know equipotential surface has constant potential and-xA0-they are perpendicular to electric field-We know work done -x394-V-xD7-QAs there is no change in V while moving on equipotential surfaceWork done -0

If a unit charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, thenwork is done on the chargework is done by the chargework on the charge is constantno work is done

→ We know equipotential surface has constant potential and they are perpendicular to electric field.We know work done =ΔV×QAs there is no change in V while moving on equipotential surfaceWork done =0

$\to$ We know equipotential surface has constant potential and they are perpendicular to electric field.
We know work done $= Δ V \times Q$
As there is no change in $V$ while moving on equipotential surface
Work done $= 0$
