Let a total charge $2Q$ be distributed in a sphere of radius $R$,with the charge density given by $\rho(r) = kr$,where $r$ is the distance from the centre. Two charges $A$ and $B$,of $-Q$ each,are placed on diametrically opposite points,at equal distance $a$ from the centre. If $A$ and $B$ do not experience any force,then:

  • A
    $a = \frac{R}{2^{1/4}}$
  • B
    $a = 2^{-1/4}R$
  • C
    $a = 8^{-1/4}R$
  • D
    $a = R/\sqrt{3}$
