Which of the following statements accurately describes the comparison of the work done when a test charge (q) moves in the electric field of a point charge (Q) along two different closed paths, as described in Figure 2.6?

Options

1. AThe work done is the same in both cases because the paths have the same area.
2. BThe work done is different in both cases because the paths have different areas.
3. CThe work done is zero in both cases as the electric field is conservative.
4. DThe work done is dependent on the magnitude of the charges and not the paths.
