Point charge q moves from point P to point S along the path PQRS (figure shown) in a uniform electric field E pointing co-parallel to the positive direction of the x-axis. The coordinates of the points P, Q, R, and S are $(a,b,0),(2a,0,0),(a,-b,0)$ and (0, 0, 0) respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is given by the expression 

(1) qEa

(3) $qEa\sqrt{2}$

(4) $qE\sqrt{[{\left(2a\right)}^2+b^2]}$

Two small spheres each carrying a charge q are placed r meter apart. If one of the spheres is taken around the other one in a circular path of radius r, the work done will be equal to

(3) Force between them / 2πr

(4) Zero

A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged so that the potential on its surface is 10 V. The potential at the centre of the sphere is -

If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, then -
