$A$ disk of radius $R$ with uniform positive charge density $\sigma$ is placed on the $xy$ plane with its center at the origin. The Coulomb potential along the $z$-axis is $V(z) = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} (\sqrt{R^2+z^2} - z)$. $A$ particle of positive charge $q$ is placed initially at rest at a point on the $z$-axis with $z=z_0$ and $z_0 > 0$. In addition to the Coulomb force,the particle experiences a vertical force $\vec{F} = -c\hat{k}$ with $c > 0$. Let $\beta = \frac{2c\epsilon_0}{q\sigma}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{25}{7}R$,the particle reaches the origin.
$(B)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{3}{7}R$,the particle reaches the origin.
$(C)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{R}{\sqrt{3}}$,the particle returns back to $z=z_0$.
$(D)$ For $\beta > 1$ and $z_0 > 0$,the particle always reaches the origin.

Two charged particles of mass $1 \ g$ each are placed $1 \ m$ apart. If each of these possesses $1 \ fC$ (femto coulomb) of charge, then the dominant force of interaction between them is:

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths $l$ are initially at a distance $d$ $(d << l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result,the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v$. Then $v$ varies as a function of the distance $x$ between the spheres,as:
