An infinitely long thin non-conducting wire is parallel to the $z$-axis and carries a uniform line charge density $\lambda$. It pierces a thin non-conducting spherical shell of radius $R$ in such a way that the arc $PQ$ subtends an angle $120^{\circ}$ at the centre $O$ of the spherical shell,as shown in the figure.
