Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of length l are initially a distance dd<<l apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charge begins to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the charges approach each other with a velocity v. Then as a function of distance x between them

Two positive charges of magnitude q are placed at the ends of a side (side 1) of a square of side 2a. Two negative charges of the same magnitude are kept at the other corners. Starting from rest, if a charge Q moves from the middle of side 1 to the centre of square, its kinetic energy at the centre of square is,

This questions has Statement 1 and Statement 2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

An insulating solid sphere of radius R has a uniformly positive charge density ρ. As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of the electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point outside the sphere. The electric potential at infinity is zero.

Statement 1: When a charge is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere its potential energy changes by qρ3ε0
Statement 2: The electric field at a distance r(r<R) from the centre of the sphere is ρr3ε0
