at the midpoints of adjacent sides of a rectangle, where x =

The gure shows two negative source charges, -2Q and -6Q, xed at the midpoints of adjacent sides of a rectangle, where x = 4 cm and y = 3 cm. A charge q (not shown) is to move from one corner (Point P1) to the opposite corner (Point P2). If q travels along Path 1 (the diagonal path of length 5 cm), the work done by the electric force is W1. If q travels along Path 2 (down the left side, then along the lower side), the work done by the electric force is W2. Which of the following correctly relates W1 and W2 ? 0 W1 = (3/5)w2 Q W1 = (7/5)W2 0 W1 = (5/3)W2 0 W1 = (4/5)W2 O W1 = W2 0 W1 = (5/4)W2 0 W1 = (5/7)W2
