Two identical pendulum $A$ and $B$ are suspended from the same point. The bobs are given positive charges, with $A$ having more charge than $B$ . They diverge and reach at equilibrium, with $A$ and $B$ making angles $\theta _1$ and $\theta _2$ with the vertical respectively, Then

Point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to point $S$ along the path $PQRS$ (figure shown) in a uniform electric field $E$ pointing coparallel 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
