Problem
Two different paths—one straight and one curved—connect the same pair of equipotential surfaces that differ in electric potential by 12V. A 5.0μC point charge is moved very slowly from the lower-potential surface to the higher-potential surface along each path. Compare the minimum external work required for the two paths and justify your answer.
