$A$ solid metallic sphere has a charge $+3Q$. 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 $b$ $(b > a)$. What is the electric field at a distance $R$ $(a < R < b)$ from the centre?

  • 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
    $\frac{4Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$
