Ten charges are placed on the circumference of a circle of radius $R$ with constant angular separation between successive charges. Alternate charges $1, 3, 5, 7, 9$ have charge $(+q)$ each, while $2, 4, 6, 8, 10$ have charge $(-q)$ each. The potential $V$ and the electric field $E$ at the centre of the circle are respectively (Take $V = 0$ at infinity).

  • A
    $V = \frac{10q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R}; E = \frac{10q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R^2}$
  • B
    $V = 0, E = \frac{10q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R^2}$
  • C
    $V = 0, E = 0$
  • D
    $V = \frac{10q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R}; E = 0$

Two identical balls having like charges and placed at a certain distance apart repel each other with a certain force. 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 is
