$A$ charge $(-q)$ and another charge $(+Q)$ are kept at two points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Keeping the charge $(+Q)$ fixed at $B$,the charge $(-q)$ at $A$ is moved to another point $C$ such that $ABC$ forms an equilateral triangle of side $\ell$. The net work done in moving the charge $(-q)$ is

Consider a spherical shell of radius $R$ with a total charge $+Q$ uniformly spread on its surface (centre of the shell lies at the origin $x=0$). Two point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are brought,one after the other,from far away and placed at $x=-a/2$ and $x=+a/2$ $(a < 2R)$,respectively. The magnitude of the work done in this process is:
