How much work (in joules) is done in moving a charge of 2.5 μC a distance of 53 cm along an equipotential at 10 V? I got -2.25e-5 is this correct?

OpenStudy (jamesj):

If you move a charge along an equipotential, the potential energy at the beginning and the end are the same. So how much work has been done against the electric field? Zero.
