A charged metallic sphere \(A\) is suspended by a nylon thread. Another identical charged metallic sphere \(B\) held by an insulating handle is brought close to \(A\) such that the distance between their centres is \(10\) cm, as shown in Fig.(a). The resulting repulsion of \(A\) is noted. Then spheres \(A\) and \(B\) are touched by identical uncharged spheres \(C\) and \(D\) respectively, as shown in Fig.(b). \(C\) and \(D\) are then removed and \(B\) is brought closer to \(A\) to a distance of \(5.0\) cm between their centres, as shown in Fig. (c). What is the expected repulsion on \(A\) on the basis of Coulomb’s law?

1. Electrostatic force on \(A\) due to \(B\) remains unaltered.
2. Electrostatic force on \(A\) due to \(B\) becomes double.
3. Electrostatic force on \(A\) due to \(B\) becomes half.
4. Can't say.

An electron falls through a distance of \(1.5\) cm in a uniform electric field of magnitude \(2\times10^4\) N/C [figure (a)]. The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance [figure (b)]. If \(t_e\) and \(t_p\) are the time of fall for electron and proton respectively, then:

   
1. \(t_e=t_p\)
2. \(t_e>t_p\)
3. \(t_e<t_p\)
4. none of these
