From infinity, and beyond. Consider a point charge +Q, that is held fixed at (L,0). Another charge -20 is brought from infinity to (0,1). We have the option to slowly drag the negative charge along four polygonal paths (I, II, III, and IV), whose respective vertices are listed below: 1. (0,L)--(LL)-(2,0) II. (0,1)+(-1,0)-(-L.-L) III. (0,1)-(-LL) ---L21) IV. (0,1)-(1,2L)--(24,2L) Which path corresponds to the least work done against the electric field?
