- Positive electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along a thin rod of length 2a. The rod lies along the x-axis between x = -a and x = +a.

This tells us that the work is dependent on: the magnitude and type (+ or -) of the electric charge we are trying to move, the strength of the electric field we are moving it through, the displacement (change in position from starting point to ending point), and the angle the displacement makes with the electric field. 1) If the angle the displacement makes with the electric field is 90° it means the charge is moving across (or perpendicular to) the field vectors. Is work being done and what is doing the work? Will it be Maximum, Minimum or zero? Explain your answer with a diagram.arrow_forward
