Options:
  • A zero
  • B \( 30 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J} \)
  • C \( 20 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J} \)
  • D \( 5 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J} \)

The correct answer is: zero

The electric potential difference along the equatorial axis of an electric dipole is zero.

The change of potential energy stored in charge 10 μC  is equal to the work done on 10 μC to bring it from A to B.
