Detailed Solution

Potential at a distance 2cm from its centre

$= \frac{Q}{4 π \in_{0} r} = \frac{4 {πr}^{2} σ}{4 π \in_{0} r^{'}} \Rightarrow \frac{r^{2} σ}{ϵ_{0} r^{'}} = \frac{σ}{2 ϵ_{0}} \times \frac{1}{100}$

$since r = 1 cm and r^{'} = 2 cm$

$PDb / w the two points is equal to \frac{σ}{200 \in_{0}}$

$work done = VQ = \frac{σ}{200 ϵ_{0}} X_{2 \times 10^{- 8}} = 11 \times 10^{- 4} J$
