If some charge is given to a solid metallic sphere,the field inside remains zero and by Gauss's law all the charge resides on the surface. Now,suppose that Coulomb's force between two charges varies as $1 / r^{3}$. Then,for a charged solid metallic sphere

An infinitely long thin non-conducting wire is parallel to the $z$-axis and carries a uniform line charge density $\lambda$. It pierces a thin non-conducting spherical shell of radius $R$ in such a way that the arc $PQ$ subtends an angle $120^{\circ}$ at the centre $O$ of the spherical shell,as shown in the figure. The permittivity of free space is $\epsilon_0$. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
$(A)$ The electric flux through the shell is $\sqrt{3} R \lambda / \epsilon_0$
$(B)$ The $z$-component of the electric field is zero at all the points on the surface of the shell
