  • A
    $\sigma / \epsilon_0 R$
  • B
    $\sigma / 2 \epsilon_0$
  • C
    $\sigma / \epsilon_0$
  • D

Two concentric conducting thin spherical shells $A$ and $B$ having radii $r_A$ and $r_B$ $(r_B > r_A)$ are charged to $Q_A$ and $-Q_B$ $(|Q_B| > |Q_A|)$. The electric field along a line passing through the centre is:

An infinitely long solid cylinder of radius $R$ has a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. It has a spherical cavity of radius $R/2$ with its centre on the axis of the cylinder,as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the electric field at the point $P$,which is at a distance $2R$ from the axis of the cylinder,is given by the expression $\frac{23 \rho R}{16 k \varepsilon_0}$. The value of $k$ is
