As per this diagram a point charge $ + q$ is placed at the origin $O$. Work done in taking another point charge $ - Q$ from the point $A$ [co-ordinates $(0,\,a)$] to another point $B$ [co-ordinates $(a, 0)$] along the straight path $AB$ is
  • A$Zero$
  • B$\left( {\frac{{ - qQ}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{1}{{{a^2}}}} \right)\,\sqrt 2 a$
  • C$\left( {\frac{{qQ}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{1}{{{a^2}}}} \right)\,\frac{a}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
  • D$\left( {\frac{{qQ}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{1}{{{a^2}}}} \right)\,\sqrt 2 a$
