Consider a spherical shell of radius $R$ with a total charge $+ Q$ uniformly spread on its surface (centre of the shell lies at the origin $x=0$ ). Two point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are brought, one after the other from far away and placed at $x=-a / 2$ and $x=+a / 2( < R)$, respectively. Magnitude of the work done in this process is
