Work moving charge on equipotential surface: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Work moving charge on equipotential surface:
A. qV
B. Zero
C. Path dependent
D. Infinite
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Equipotential: ΔV = 0 ⇒ W = qΔV = 0. Electric field perpendicular to equipotentials. Memory aid: 'Equipotential: no work to move charge along it'. Electrostatics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3 Report Error
An electric bulb rated 220 V, 100 W is operated at 110 V. The power consumed is
A. 50 W
B. 25 W
C. 100 W
D. 12.5 W

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Resistance R = V²/P = 220²/100 = 484 Ω. At 110 V, P = V²/R = 110²/484 = 12100/484 = 25 W. Assuming resistance constant. Power reduces to quarter when voltage halved (P ∝ V² for fixed R).
