An infinite sheet carrying a uniform surface charge density \(\sigma\) lies on the \(x y\) -plane. The work done to carry a charge \(q\) from the point \(\mathbf{A}=a(\mathbf{i}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{k}})\) to the point \(\mathbf{B}=a(\mathbf{i}-2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+6 \hat{\mathbf{k}})\)
(where \(a\) is a constant with the dimension of length and \(\varepsilon_{0}\) is the permittivity of free space) is

  1. A \(\frac{3 \sigma a q}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \sigma a q}{\varepsilon_{0}}\)
