  • A
    $E \propto r^{-2}$
  • B
    $E \propto r^{-1}$
  • C
    $E \propto r$
  • D

Charges $Q, 2Q$ and $4Q$ are uniformly distributed in three dielectric solid spheres $1, 2$ and $3$ of radii $R/2, R$ and $2R$ respectively,as shown in the figure. If magnitudes of the electric fields at point $P$ at a distance $R$ from the centre of spheres $1, 2$ and $3$ are $E_1, E_2$ and $E_3$ respectively,then:

$A$ charge $q$ is placed at one corner of a cube. The electric flux through any of the three faces adjacent to the charge is zero. The flux through any one of the other three faces is
