$A$ solid metallic sphere has a charge $+3 Q$. Concentric with this sphere is a conducting spherical shell having charge $-Q$. The radius of the sphere is $A$ and that of the spherical shell is $B$ $(B > A)$. The electric field at a distance $R$ $(A < R < B)$ from the centre is $(\varepsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of vacuum})$

  • A
    $\frac{Q}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 R}$
  • B
    $\frac{3Q}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 R}$
  • C
    $\frac{3Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4Q}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
An insulating solid sphere of radius $R$ has a uniformly positive charge density $\rho$. As a result of this uniform charge distribution,there is a finite value of electric potential at the centre of the sphere,at the surface of the sphere,and also at a point outside the sphere. The electric potential at infinity is zero.
Statement-$1$: When a charge $q$ is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere,its potential energy changes by $\frac{q \rho R^2}{6 \epsilon_0}$.
Statement-$2$: The electric field at a distance $r (r < R)$ from the centre of the sphere is $\frac{\rho r}{3 \epsilon_0}$.
