To solve the problem of calculating the work done in moving a charge from point P to point Q via point R, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - Charge at the origin, \( Q = 8 \, \text{mC} = 8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{C} \) - Charge to be moved, \( q_0 = -2 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \) - Point P coordinates: \( (0, 0, 3 \, \text{cm}) = (0, 0, 0.03 \, \text{m}) \) - Point Q coordinates: \( (0, 4 \, \text{cm}, 0) = (0, 0.04 \, \text{m}, 0) \) ...
