$\mathrm{B} $ and $ \mathrm{C}$ are equipotential and field is conservative, therefore:

$\therefore \mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{CA}}=\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{BA}^{-}}=-\int_{2 \mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{a}} \frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{r}} \mathrm{q} \mathrm{dr}=\frac{\mathrm{q} \lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \operatorname{In} 2$
