Four parallel horizontal dashed lines stacked vertically in a 2D plane. The bottom dashed line is labeled 10 V, the second line up is labeled 20 V, the third line up is labeled 30 V, and the top line is labeled 40 V. A point labeled P lies on the 10 V line near the left. A point labeled Q lies on the 40 V line near the right. A curved solid line with an arrow pointing toward Q connects point P to point Q, passing smoothly through the 20 V and 30 V lines. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Equipotential lines and path of a positive test charge.
A region of space contains four parallel equipotential lines labeled \(10 \, \text{V}\), \(20 \, \text{V}\), \(30 \, \text{V}\), and \(40 \, \text{V}\), as shown in the diagram. A point charge \(q = +2.0 \, \mu\text{C}\) is moved along a curved path from point \(P\) on the \(10 \, \text{V}\) line to point \(Q\) on the \(40 \, \text{V}\) line. What is the work done on the point charge by the electric field during this displacement?
