Consider the figure above. The blue ball at (-1,1,0) carries a charge Q, and the green ball at (1,-1,0) carries a charge -Q. A small positive test charge q may be moved from (0,-3,0) to (0,3,0) by two routes: Route 1: straight along the y-axis Route 2: a path with two diagonal elements passing through the point (-2,0,0) Which of the following statements is true? - Route 1 requires more work than Route 2.
- Route 2 requires more work than Route 1.
- Both routes require zero work.
- The routes require an equal, positive amount of work.
- The routes require an equal, negative amount of work.
- There is not enough given information to decide which path requires more work.
