According to the Jefferson lab, "The scientific definition of work is: using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.)"
Answer:
a

b

Explanation:
Generally the force of attraction between this two irons is mathematically represented as
![F = \frac{k * [Q_{Li} ] * [Q_{O} ] }{ r^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7Bk%20%2A%20%20%5BQ_%7BLi%7D%20%20%5D%20%2A%20%5BQ_%7BO%7D%20%20%5D%20%20%7D%7B%20r%5E2%7D)
Here k is known as the proportionality constant with value 
substituting -2 for
i.e the charge on oxygen , +1 for
i.e the charge on Lithium and
for r
So


Generally the force of repulsion will be the magnitude but different direction to the force o attraction
So Force of repulsionn is
