The figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride, $CsCl$. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles, are situated at the corners of a cube of side $0.40 \, nm$, whereas a $Cl$ atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The $Cs$ atoms are deficient in one electron while the $Cl$ atom carries an excess electron.

$A$ point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to $S$ along the path $PQRS$ in a uniform electric field $E$ directed parallel to the positive $X$-axis. The coordinates of points $P, Q, R,$ and $S$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0),$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. Calculate the work done by the electric field in this process.
