Two rings of radius $R$ are placed coaxially at a distance $R$ apart. They carry charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively. How much work is required to move a charge $q$ from the center of one ring to the center of the other?

  • A
    $Zero$
  • B
    $\frac{q(Q_1 - Q_2)(\sqrt{2} - 1)}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{q(Q_1 + Q_2)\sqrt{2}}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R}$
  • D
    $\frac{q(Q_1 / Q_2)(\sqrt{2} - 1)}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R\sqrt{2}}$

$A$ charge $+q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = x_0, x = 3x_0, x = 5x_0, \dots$ up to $\infty$ on the $X$-axis and a charge $-q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = 2x_0, x = 4x_0, x = 6x_0, \dots$ up to $\infty$. Here $x_0$ is a positive constant. Taking the potential at a point due to a charge $Q$ at a distance $r$ from it to be $\frac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r}$,find the potential at the origin due to the above system of charges.
