An infinitely long uniformly charged string is placed along the $z-$axis. Its linear charge density is $\lambda$. $A$ point charge $q$ is moved from position $(a, 0, 0)$ to $(2a, 0, 0)$. The work done by the external agent is:

  • A
    $-\frac{K\lambda q}{a} \ln(2)$
  • B
    $\frac{K\lambda q}{2a} \ln(2)$
  • C
    $-2K\lambda q \ln(2)$
  • D
    $- \frac{2K\lambda q}{a} \ln(2)$
