Two equally charged,identical metal spheres $A$ and $B$ repel each other with a force '$F$'. The spheres are kept fixed with a distance '$r$' between them. $A$ third identical,but uncharged sphere $C$ is brought in contact with $A$ and then placed at the mid-point of the line joining $A$ and $B$. The magnitude of the net electric force on $C$ is

  • A
    $F$
  • B
    $3F/4$
  • C
    $F/2$
  • D
    $F/4$

In one model of the electron,the electron of mass $m_e$ is thought to be a uniformly charged shell of radius $R$ and total charge $e$,whose electrostatic energy $E$ is equivalent to its mass $m_e$ via Einstein's mass-energy relation $E = m_e c^2$. In this model,$R$ is approximately ($m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$,$1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2C^{-2}$,magnitude of the electron charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).
