Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths \(l,\) are initially at a distance \(d\) \(\left ( d\ll l \right )\) apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity \(v.\) Then, \(v\) varies as a function of the distance \(x\) between the sphere, as:
1. \(v\propto x\)
2. \(v\propto x^{-1/2}\)
3. \(v\propto x^{-1}\)
4. \(v\propto x^{1/2}\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Point charges \(q_{1}\) and \(q_{2}\) produce electric field of magnitude \(E_{1}\) and \(E_{2}\) at a point and potential \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\) at the same point. The electric field due to both the charges at that point must be \(E_{1}+E_{2}.\)
Reason (R): The electric potential at that point due to both the charges must be \(V_{1}+V_{2}.\)
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.

Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length, the equilibrium separation between them is \(r\) (as shown in Fig. I). Now, as shown in Fig. II, the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now becomes:
1. \(\dfrac{r}{\sqrt[3]{2}}\) 2. \(\dfrac{r}{\sqrt[2]{2}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{2r}{3}\) 4. none of the above

Given below are two statements: 


Assertion (A): An isolated system consists of two particles of equal masses \(m=10\) gm and charges \(q_1=1~\mu \)C and  \(q_2=-1~\mu \)C as shown in the figure. The initial separation of both charges is \(l=1\) m. Both the charges are given initial velocities  \(v_1=1\) ms-1 and  \(v_2=2\) ms-1 towards the right. The maximum separation between the charges is infinite.
Reason (R): The total energy (Kinetic energy + electrostatic potential energy) of the given two-particle system is positive and the initial velocity of separation is positive.

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
