Consider a point charge +Q, that is held fixed at (L, 0). Another charge –2Q is brought from infinity to (0, L). We have the option to slowly drag the negative charge along four polygonal paths (I, II, III, and IV), whose respective vertices are listed below: 1. (0, L) → (L, L) → (2L, 0) II. (0, L) → (–L, 0) → (-L, –L) II. (0, L) → (-L, L) → (-L, 2L) IV. (0, L) → (L, 2L) → (2L, 2L) Which path corresponds to the least work done against the electric field? А. I B. II C. II D. IV
