Consider a positive charge +q placed at the origin. Let A and b be two points in the space with position vectors rA and rB respectively. What will be the work done by an external force equal and opposite to the Coulumbic force, in moving a unit positive charge from A to B, irrespctive of the path AB?
I have derived it as W = kq ((1/rA) - (1/rB)), but my book tells that W = kq ((1/rB) - (1/rA)), where k = electrostatic constant. Please help me!
