$\%$ Heat $ \mathrm{loss}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{U}}{\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{i}}} \times 100$

$=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{C}_{1} \mathrm{C}_{2}}{\left(\mathrm{C}_{1}+\mathrm{C}_{2}\right)}(\mathrm{V}-0)^{2}}{\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{C}_{1} \mathrm{V}^{2}} \times 100$

$=\frac{\mathrm{C}_{2}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}+\mathrm{C}_{2}} \times 100=\frac{8}{10} \times 100=80 \%$

    This questions has statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describe the two statements.
    An insulating solid sphere of radius $R$ has a uniformly
    positive charge density $\rho$. As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point out side the sphere. The electric potential at infinite is zero.

    Statement$ -1$ : When a charge $q$ is take from the centre of the surface of the sphere its potential energy changes by  $\frac{{q\rho }}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$

    Statement$ -2$ : The electric field at a distance $r(r < R)$  from centre of the sphere is $\frac{{\rho r}}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$
