A point charge $q$ is held at the centre of a circle of radius $r . B, C$ are two points on the circumference of the circle and $A$ is a point outside the circle. If $W_{A B}$ represents work done by electric field in taking a charge $q_0$ from $A$ to $B$ and $W_{A C}$ represents the workdone from $A$ to $C$, then

A test charge $q$ is made to move in the electric field of a point charge $Q$ along two different closed paths as per figure. First path has sections along and perpendicular to lines of electric field. Second path is a rectangular loop of the same area as the first loop. How does the work done compare in the two cases ?

There is a uniform spherically symmetric surface charge density at a distance $R_0$ from the origin. The charge distribution is initially at rest and starts expanding because of mutual repulsion.
