In one model of the electron,the electron of mass $m_e$ is thought to be a uniformly charged shell of radius $R$ and total charge $e$,whose electrostatic energy $E$ is equivalent to its mass $m_e$ via Einstein's mass-energy relation $E = m_e c^2$. In this model,$R$ is approximately ($m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$,$1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2C^{-2}$,magnitude of the electron charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).

    $1.4 \times 10^{-15} \, m$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-13} \, m$
  • C
    $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \, m$
  • D
    $2.8 \times 10^{-35} \, m$

Two identical balls having like charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are placed at a distance $r$ apart and repel each other with a force $F$. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls, $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$, is:
