There is a uniform spherically symmetric surface charge density at a distance $R_0$ from the origin. The charge distribution is initially at rest and starts expanding because of mutual repulsion. The figure that represents best the speed $V(R(t))$ of the distribution as a function of its instantaneous radius $R(t)$ is
