Work done by a electrostatic force

Work done by a electrostatic force ‘F’ in moving a point charge ‘q’ from a point A to point a point B situated in conservative electrostatic field

1. is path independent

2. depends only upon the initial & final positions

3. is equal to loss of potential energy of the point charge between these positions. i.e.

4. zero for a cyclic path.
