  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$

Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges $+10\,\mu C$ and $-20\,\mu C$ respectively and are placed at a distance $R$ from each other,experiencing a force $F_1$. If they are brought into contact and then separated to the same distance $R$,they experience a force $F_2$. The ratio of $F_1$ to $F_2$ is:

In one model of the electron,the electron of mass $m_e$ is thought to be a uniformly charged shell of radius $R$ and total charge $e$,whose electrostatic energy $E$ is equivalent to its mass $m_e$ via Einstein's mass-energy relation $E = m_e c^2$. In this model,$R$ is approximately ($m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$,$1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2C^{-2}$,magnitude of the electron charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).
