A large solid sphere with uniformly distributed positive charge has a smooth narrow tunnel through its centre. A small particle with negative charge, initially at rest far from the sphere, approaches it along the line of tunnel, reaches its surface with a speed v, and passes through the tunnel. Its speed at the centre of the sphere will be
0
