If the magnetic lines of force are shaped like arcs of concentric circles with their centre at point O in a certain section of a magnetic field:

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
To prove this we will calculate work done by electric force in a close loop
.
during displacement AD and BC work done by electric force
as electrostatic is perpendicular to displacement.
Work done during
Work done during
Total work done 
Close loop work done should be zero
