In a certain charge distribution, all points having zero potential can be joined by a circle S. Points inside S have positive potential, and points outside S have a negative potential. A positive charge, which is free to move, is placed inside S. What is the correct statement about S:

A square of side ‘a’ has charge Q at its centre and charge ‘q’ at one of the corners. The work required to be done in moving the charge ‘q’ from the corner to the diagonally opposite corner is -
