A point charge Q moves into an electric field E. A team of scientists want to see the behavior of the charge at the line labeled Z. Lab funds are very limited and it is desired to minimize energy costs. Which of the following paths, A or B, should the scientists choose in order to minimize the energy inputted?
 |
|
A
|
Both paths are equal in energetic input. |
B
|
Path A will minimize costs because it is the shortest path from the point charge to the line Z. |
C
|
Path B will minimize costs because it avoids going directly in the opposing electric field. |
D
|
Path A will minimize costs because it goes parallel to the electric field. |
