If some charge is given to a solid metallic sphere, the field inside remains zero and by Gauss's law all the charge resides on the surface. Now, suppose that Coulomb's force between two charges varies as $1 / r^{3}$. Then, for a charged solid metallic sphere

$(d)$ As Coulomb's force,

$\quad F \propto \frac{1}{r^{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \text { Electric field, } E \propto \frac{1}{r^{3}} \Rightarrow E=\frac{k q}{r^{3}}$

Now, for Gaussian surface $(r < R)$.

Electric flux linked with surface is

$\phi=\int \frac{k q}{r^{3}} \cdot 2 \pi r d r$

$=2 \pi k q \int \frac{d r}{r^{2}}=2 \pi k q\left(-\frac{1}{r}\right)$

As flux is non-zero, charge density is also non-zero. Also, by symmetry of charge distribution electric field is zero.

    Consider a simple $RC$ circuit as shown in Figure $1$.

    Process $1$: In the circuit the switch $S$ is closed at $t=0$ and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage $V_0$ (i.e. charging continues for time $T \gg R C$ ). In the process some dissipation ( $E_D$ ) occurs across the resistance $R$. The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is $EC$.

    Process $2$: In a different process the voltage is first set to $\frac{V_0}{3}$ and maintained for a charging time $T \gg R C$. Then the voltage is raised to $\frac{2 \mathrm{~V}_0}{3}$ without discharging the capacitor and again maintained for time $\mathrm{T} \gg \mathrm{RC}$. The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to $V_0$ and the capacitor is charged to the same final

    take $\mathrm{V}_0$ as voltage

    These two processes are depicted in Figure $2$.

     ($1$) In Process $1$, the energy stored in the capacitor $E_C$ and heat dissipated across resistance $E_D$ are released by:

    $[A]$ $E_C=E_D$ $[B]$ $E_C=E_D \ln 2$ $[C]$ $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}$ $[D]$ $E_C=2 E_D$

     ($2$) In Process $2$, total energy dissipated across the resistance $E_D$ is:
