Question

if two points are at the same potential, does this mean that no net work is done in moving a test charge from one point to the other? does this imply that no force must be exerted? explain.

Answer 1

• Not necessarily.
• If two points are at the same potential, then no net work is done in moving a charge from one point to the other, but work (both positive and negative) could be done at different parts of the path.
