An electric field is given by $\vec{E} = e_1 \hat{i} + e_2 \hat{j} + e_3 \hat{k}$. $A$ charge $Q$ is moved by a displacement vector $\vec{r} = a \hat{i} + b \hat{j}$. The work done is:

  • A
    $Q(ae_1 + be_2)$
  • B
    $Q \sqrt{(ae_1)^2 + (be_2)^2}$
  • C
    $Q(e_1 + e_2) \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$
  • D
    $(\sqrt{e_1^2 + e_2^2}) (a + b)$
