Q. You are moving a negative charge -q, where -q<0 at a small constant speed away from a uniformly charged non-conducting spherical shell on which resides a negative charge -Q<0. The electrostatic field of -Q is E. Let U be the total energy of the system,

W_{a}

is the work done by the force

F_{a}

you exert on -q and

W_{E}
