A charged particle with charge $q$ and mass $m$ starts with an initial kinetic energy $K$ at the centre of a uniformly charged spherical region of total charge $Q$ and radius $R$. Charges $q$ and $Q$ have opposite signs. The spherically charged region is not free to move and kinetic energy $K$ is just sufficient for the charge particle to reach boundary of the spherical charge. How much time does it take the particle to reach the boundary of the region?
$\sqrt[\pi ]{{\frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _o}m{R^3}}}{{qQ}}}}$
$\sqrt[{\frac{\pi }{2}}]{{\frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _o}m{R^3}}}{{qQ}}}}$
$\sqrt[{\frac{\pi }{4}}]{{\frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _o}m{R^3}}}{{qQ}}}}$
None of the above.
Solution

$F=-\frac{\rho q}{3 \epsilon_{0}} r$
Therefore it excutes $SHM.$ If remains always within the sphere.
$\frac{{{{\rm{d}}^2}{\rm{r}}}}{{{\rm{d}}{{\rm{t}}^2}}} = – \frac{{\rho {\rm{q}}}}{{3{ \in _0}{\rm{m}}}}{\rm{r}}$
$\Rightarrow$ Angular frequency
$\omega = \sqrt {\frac{{\rho q}}{{3{ \in _0}m}}} $
Time to reach from centre to surface $\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{4}$
${\rm{t}} = \frac{{\rm{T}}}{4} = \frac{1}{4}\frac{{2\pi }}{\omega } = \frac{\pi }{{2\omega }} = \frac{\pi }{2}\sqrt {\frac{{3{ \in _0}{\rm{m}}}}{{\rho {\rm{q}}}}} $ ………$(i)$
We know that $\rho=\frac{3 \mathrm{Q}}{4 \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}}$
so from $(i)$ $t = \frac{\pi }{2}\sqrt {\frac{{4\pi { \in _0}{\rm{m}}{{\rm{R}}^3}}}{{{\rm{Qq}}}}} $

In steady state heat conduction, the equations that determine the heat current $j ( r )$ [heat flowing per unit time per unit area] and temperature $T( r )$ in space are exactly the same as those governing the electric field $E ( r )$ and electrostatic potential $V( r )$ with the equivalence given in the table below.
Heat flow | Electrostatics |
$T( r )$ | $V( r )$ |
$j ( r )$ | $E ( r )$ |
We exploit this equivalence to predict the rate $Q$ of total heat flowing by conduction from the surfaces of spheres of varying radii, all maintained at the same temperature. If $\dot{Q} \propto R^{n}$, where $R$ is the radius, then the value of $n$ is
