A small positive charge can move inside a uniform electric field. [Figure 13.1] The charge moves along different straight paths between points P, Q, R and S. Which row gives two paths that result in the same total work done on the charge?

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

Apath 1: P to R, path 2: Q to S
Bpath 1: P to R, path 2: P to S
Cpath 1: S to Q, path 2: S to R
Dpath 1: S to Q, path 2: R to P

✓ Correct answer

C: path 1: S to Q, path 2: S to R
