An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. It is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $+\sigma'$. If a point charge $q_A$ is slowly moved inside the cavity of the shell,then choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    Charge distribution on the inner and outer face of the shell changes.
  • B
    The force acting on the charge $q_A$ changes.
  • C
    The charge $q_A$ also starts moving slowly.
  • D
    None of these.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a hollow sphere. The flux of electric field through the sphere is zero,but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere.
Statement $II$: If $R$ is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and $Q$ is the total charge on it,the electric field at any point on a spherical surface of radius $r$ ( < R ) is zero,and the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius $r$ is also zero.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ positively charged thin metal ring of radius $R$ is fixed in the $xy$-plane with its centre at the origin $O$. $A$ negatively charged particle $P$ is released from rest at the point $(0, 0, z_0)$,where $z_0 > 0$. Then the motion of $P$ is:

Two identical metallic spheres $A$ and $B$ when placed at a certain distance in air repel each other with a force of $F$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is first placed in contact with $A$ and then in contact with $B$ and finally placed at the midpoint between spheres $A$ and $B$. The force experienced by sphere $C$ will be:
