In the electric field of a point charge $q$,a certain charge is carried from point $A$ to points $B, C, D$ and $E$ as shown in the figure. Then the work done:

  • A
    Is least along the path $AB$
  • B
    Is least along the path $AD$
  • C
    Is zero along all the paths $AB, AC, AD$ and $AE$
  • D
    Is least along $AE$
