Work done is equal to zero because the potential of A and B are the same =4πϵ01aq 
No work done if a particle does not change its potential energy. i.e. initial potential energy = final potential energy.
As per the diagram a point charge +q is placed at the origin O. Work done in taking another point charge - Q from the point A [coordinate (0, a) ] to…

Two identical charged conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is $F$. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres $A$ and $B$ (Radii of $A$ and $B$ are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as :
