For two electrons separated by a distance of $10 \, cm$,let $F_g$ and $F_e$ represent the gravitational force and electrostatic force between them,respectively. The ratio $F_g / F_e$ is of the order of:

  • A
    $10^{42}$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $10^{-43}$

Under the influence of the Coulomb field of charge $+Q$,a charge $-q$ is moving around it in an elliptical orbit. Find out the correct statement$(s)$.

$A$ 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).

There is a uniform spherically symmetric surface charge density at a distance $R_0$ from the origin. The charge distribution is initially at rest and starts expanding because of mutual repulsion. The figure that represents best the speed $V(R(t))$ of the distribution as a function of its instantaneous radius $R(t)$ is
