A total charge \(Q\) is broken in two parts \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) and they are placed at a distance \(R\) from each other. The maximum force of repulsion between them will occur, when:

1. \(Q_2=\frac{Q}{R}, Q_1=Q-\frac{Q}{R}\)            
2. \(Q_2=\frac{Q}{4}, Q_1=Q-\frac{2 Q}{3}\)            
3. \(Q_2=\frac{Q}{4}, Q_1=\frac{3 Q}{4}\)            
4. \(Q_1=\frac{Q}{2}, Q_2=\frac{Q}{2}\)

Five balls numbered \(1\) to \(5\) are suspended using separate threads. Pairs \((1, 2), (2, 4),\) and \((4, 1)\) show electrostatic attraction, while pairs \((2, 3)\) and \((4, 5)\) show repulsion. Therefore ball \((1)\) must be:

1. positively charged
2. negatively charged
3. neutral
4. made of metal
