$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ carries a charge $(Q+q)$ distributed uniformly over its volume. $A$ very small point-like piece of it of mass $m$ gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge $q$. If it acquires a speed $v$ when it has fallen through a vertical height $y$ (see figure),then: (assume the remaining portion to be spherical).

  • A
    $v^{2}=2 y\left[\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} R(R+y) m}+g\right]$
  • B
    $v^{2}=y\left[\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} R^{2} y m}+g\right]$
  • C
    $v^{2}=2 y\left[\frac{q Q R}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}(R+y)^{3} m}+g\right]$
  • D
    $v^{2}=y\left[\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} R(R+y) m}+g\right]$

$A$ charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over the surface of a thin spherical shell of radius $R$. Which of the following graphs most closely represents the electric field $E(r)$ produced by the shell in the range $0 \leq r < \infty$,where $r$ is the distance from the center of the shell?

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:

The diagram shows three infinitely long uniform line charges placed on the $X, Y$ and $Z$ axes with linear charge densities $2\lambda, 3\lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively. The work done by an external agent in moving a unit positive charge from $(1, 1, 1)$ to $(0, 1, 1)$ is equal to:
