eg. A solid sphere of radius R carries a charge Q + q distributed uniformly over its volume. A very small
point like piece of it of mass m gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically
under gravity. This piece carries charge q. If it acquires a speed v when it has fallen through a vertical
height y (see figure), then : (assume the remaining portion to be spherical). [JEE MAIN 2020]
