For an infinite line of charge having charge density $\lambda$ lying along the $x$-axis,the work required in moving a charge $q$ from point $C$ to point $A$ along the arc $CA$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{q\lambda}{\pi \varepsilon_0} \ln \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{q\lambda}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \ln 2$
  • C
    $\frac{q\lambda}{2\pi \varepsilon_0} \ln 2$
  • D
    $\frac{q\lambda}{2\pi \varepsilon_0} \ln \frac{1}{2}$
