The coordinates of $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0)$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. How much work is done in moving a charge $q$ from $A$ to $D$ in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ directed along the positive $x$-axis?

  • A
    $-qEa$
  • B
    $Zero$
  • C
    $2E(a + b)q$
  • D
    $\frac{qEa}{2b}$
