Calculate the work required to move a charge Q against the electric field E= yax + xay along the path abc and along the straight path from a to c. Is this field conservative

work: w = fd (given)

work done by chet   =50*1 = 50 j

work done by mika =40*2 = 80 j

work done by sara =30*1.5 = 45 j

work done by bill =60*0.5 = 30 j

students in order from the greatest amount of work done to the least is mika> chet> sara> bill

hence option (b) is correct.

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
