$A$ charge $+q$ is placed at the origin $O$ of $X-Y$ axes as shown in the figure. The work done in taking a charge $Q$ from $A$ to $B$ along the straight line $AB$ is

  • A
    $\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{a-b}{a b}\right)$
  • B
    $\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{b-a}{a b}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{b}{a^{2}}-\frac{1}{b}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{a}{b^{2}}-\frac{1}{b}\right)$
