$A$ radioactive substance in the form of a metallic sphere of diameter $10^{-3} \ m$ emits particles at a constant rate of $6.25 \times 10^{10}$ particles per second. If the sphere is electrically isolated,how long will it take for its potential to increase by $1.0 \ V$? Assume that $80\%$ of the emitted particles escape from the surface. The time taken is $... \mu s$.

  • A
    $4.50$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $6.95$
  • D

Effective capacitance of parallel combination of two capacitors $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ is $10\; \mu F$. When these capacitors are individually connected to a voltage source of $1\; V,$ the energy stored in the capacitor $C_{2}$ is $4$ times that of $C_{1}$. If these capacitors are connected in series,their effective capacitance will be (in $; \mu F$)
