- A unit positive point charge is slowly moved through an infinitely thin tube inside a uniformly charged dielectric sphere of radius \(R\) and volume charge density \(\rho\). The initial and final positions of the charge are \(B\) and \(A\), located at distances \(3R\) and \(2R\) respectively from the centre. If the magnitude of work done on the charge is \[ \frac{\rho R^2}{n\varepsilon_0} \] then find \(n\).

- Consider a fixed uniformly charged insulating sphere with radius \(R\) and total charge \(+Q\). A point charge \(-q\) (\(q \ll Q\)) with mass \(m\) is released from rest at a distance of \(3R\) from the centre of the charged sphere. When the point charge reaches the surface of the sphere, its speed is:
