Two spherical conductors $B$ and $C$ having equal radii and carrying equal charges repel each other with a force $F$ when kept apart at some distance. $A$ third spherical conductor $A$ having the same radius as that of $B$ but uncharged,is brought in contact with $B$,then brought in contact with $C$,and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between $B$ and $C$ is-

  • A
    $\frac{F}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{3F}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{F}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{3F}{8}$

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:

In free space,a particle $A$ of charge $1\,\mu C$ is held fixed at a point $P.$ Another particle $B$ of the same charge and mass $4\,\mu g$ is kept at a distance of $1\,mm$ from $P$. If $B$ is released,then its velocity at a distance of $9\,mm$ from $P$ is [ Take $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,N m^2 C^{-2}$ ]
