Work done in moving an electric charge and difference in potential is called potential difference here what is the work done

Capacitance will decrease with increase in potential only if the charge is kept constant.
According to the equation, less is the potential difference, more is capacitance. But when there is less potential difference, then lesser work is done to move a charge and less potential energy is stored.so how does that work out to store energy

Calculate the net work done between A and B if potential difference between the points is 50 volts and net charge moved is 50 coulomb.
