The electric field at a point is given by $\vec E = E_0 \hat i \, V/m$. $A$ particle of charge $+q_0$ moves from point $A(0, a)$ to $B(a, 0)$ along a circular path as shown in the figure. Find the work done by the electric field in this motion.

  • A
    $\sqrt 2 q_0 a E_0$
  • B
    $\frac{q_0 a E_0}{\sqrt 2}$
  • C
    $q_0 a E_0$
  • D
    $2 q_0 E_0 a$
