$A$ total charge $Q$ is broken into two parts $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ and they are placed at a distance $R$ from each other. The maximum force of repulsion between them will occur when:

  • A
    $Q_2 = \frac{Q}{R}, Q_1 = Q - \frac{Q}{R}$
  • B
    $Q_2 = \frac{Q}{4}, Q_1 = Q - \frac{2Q}{3}$
  • C
    $Q_2 = \frac{Q}{4}, Q_1 = \frac{3Q}{4}$
  • D
    $Q_1 = \frac{Q}{2}, Q_2 = \frac{Q}{2}$

Two balls with equal charges are in a vessel with ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from each other. On forming water at $0^{\circ} C$,the balls are brought nearer to $5 \ cm$ for the interaction between them to be same. If the dielectric constant of water at $0^{\circ} C$ is $80$,the dielectric constant of ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ is:
