Q. Work done by external forces in moving a charge $q$ from $R$ to $P$ as shown in figure isPhysics Question Image

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

Thus, work done by external forces in moving a charge $q$ from $R$ to $P$ is
$W_{R P}=\int\limits_{R}^{P} F _{ ext } \cdot d r =-\int\limits_{R}^{P} F _{E} \cdot d r$
