The line $AA^{\prime}$ lies on a charged infinite conducting plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The plane has a surface charge density $\sigma$. $B$ is a ball of mass $m$ with a like charge of magnitude $q$. $B$ is connected by a string to a point on the line $AA^{\prime}$. The tangent of the angle $\theta$ formed between the line $AA^{\prime}$ and the string is:

Consider a uniform spherical charge distribution of radius $R_1$ centred at the origin $O$. In this distribution,a spherical cavity of radius $R_2$,centred at $P$ with distance $OP = a = R_1 - R_2$ (see figure) is made. If the electric field inside the cavity at position $\vec{r}$ is $\vec{E}(\vec{r})$,then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):

The nuclear charge $(Ze)$ is non-uniformly distributed within a nucleus of radius $R$. The charge density $\rho(r)$ (charge per unit volume) is dependent only on the radial distance $r$ from the center of the nucleus as shown in the figure. The electric field is only along the radial direction.
