  1. Maximum work is required to move q in figure (b)
  2. Maximum work is required to move q in figure(c)
  3. In all the cases the work done is the same.
  4. Minimum work is required to move q in figure(a)

A
Maximum work is required to move q in figure (b)
B
Maximum work is required to move q in figure(c)
C
In all the cases the work done is the same.
D
Minimum work is required to move q in figure(a)
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is C In all the cases the work done is the same.
Work done = Change in potential energy
So in all cases, from moving A to B change in potential is same
Hence work done will be same.
