Two point charges $A = +3 \text{ nC}$ and $B = +1 \text{ nC}$ are placed $5 \text{ cm}$ apart in air. The work done to move charge $B$ towards $A$ by $1 \text{ cm}$ is

  • A
    $1.35 \times 10^{-7} \text{ J}$
  • B
    $2.7 \times 10^{-7} \text{ J}$

$A$ point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to point $S$ along the path $PQRS$ (as shown in the figure) in a uniform electric field $E$ pointing parallel to the positive direction of the $X$-axis. The coordinates of the points $P, Q, R,$ and $S$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0),$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is given by the expression:
