Question:
Three identical positive point charges are located at fixed points in space. Then charge q2 is moved from its initial location to a final location as shown in the figure. Four different paths, marked (a) through (d), are shown. Path (a) follows the shortest line; path (b) takes q2 around q3; path (c) takes q2 around q3 and q1; path (d) takes q2 out to infinity and then to the final location. Which path requires the least work?
a) path (a)
b) path (b)
c) path (c)
d) path (d)
e) The work is the same for all the paths.
