$A$ charge $q$ is placed at the centre $O$ of a circle of radius $R$. Two other charges $q$ and $q$ are placed at the ends of the diameter $AB$ of the circle. The work done to move the charge at point $B$ along the circumference of the circle to a point $C$ as shown in the figure is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{q^2}{R}(\sqrt{2})$
  • B
    Zero
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{q^2}{R}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{2}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{q^2}{R}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
