Four identical thin, square metal sheets, $S_1, S_2, S_3$, and $S_4$, each of side $a$ are kept parallel to each other with equal distance $d( < < a)$ between them, as shown in the figure. Let $C_0 = \varepsilon_0 a^2 / d$, where $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.
Match the quantities mentioned in $List-I$ with their values in $List-II$ and choose the correct option.
$List-I$$List-II$
$(P)$ The capacitance between $S_1$ and $S_4$, with $S_2$ and $S_3$ not connected, is$(1)$ $3 C_0$
$(Q)$ The capacitance between $S_1$ and $S_4$, with $S_2$ shorted to $S_3$, is$(2)$ $C_0 / 2$
$(R)$ The capacitance between $S_1$ and $S_3$, with $S_2$ shorted to $S_4$, is$(3)$ $C_0 / 3$
$(S)$ The capacitance between $S_1$ and $S_2$, with $S_3$ shorted to $S_1$, and $S_2$ shorted to $S_4$, is$(4)$ $2 C_0 / 3$
$(5)$ $2 C_0$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: In electrostatics, a conductor does not store any net charge inside.
Reason $R$: Inside the capacitor (with no dielectric medium), the free charge carriers, if placed between the plates of capacitor, experience force and drift.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ particle of mass $0.2 \ gm$ and charge $1 \ \mu C$ is held at a distance of $1 \ m$ from a fixed charge of $1 \ \mu C$. If the particle is released,it will be repelled. The speed of the particle when it is at a distance of $10 \ m$ from the fixed charge is $.... \ m/s$.

In the given circuit,if the equivalent capacitance between $A$ and $B$ is $1\,\mu F$,what is the value of $C$?
