A bullet of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is fired towards a solid uniformly charged sphere of radius $R$ and total charge $+ q$. If it strikes the surface of sphere with speed $u$, find the minimum speed $u$ so that it can penetrate through the sphere. (Neglect all resistance forces or friction acting on bullet except electrostatic forces)
