Assertion $(A)$: The work done by the electrostatic force is zero when a point charge moves in a circular path around another charge.
Reason $(R)$: The dot product of force and displacement vectors gives work done.

$A$ spherical shell with an inner radius $a$ and an outer radius $b$ is made of conducting material. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is placed at the centre of the spherical shell and a total charge $-q$ is placed on the shell. Assume that the electrostatic potential is zero at an infinite distance from the spherical shell. The electrostatic potential at a distance $R$ $(a < R < b)$ from the centre of the shell is (where $K = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}$):

The electric charges $+2q$, $+2q$, $-2q$ and $-2q$ are placed at the corners of a square of side $2L$ as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $A$, midway between the two charges $+2q$ and $+2q$, is $(\epsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space})$
