$A$ solid metallic sphere has a charge $+3Q$. Concentric with this sphere is a conducting spherical shell having charge $-Q$. The radius of the sphere is $a$ and that of the spherical shell is $b$ $(b > a)$. What is the electric field at a distance $R$ $(a < R < b)$ from the centre?

  • A
    $\frac{Q}{2\pi \varepsilon_0 R}$
  • B
    $\frac{3Q}{2\pi \varepsilon_0 R}$
  • C
    $\frac{3Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$

In the figure,the inner (shaded) region $A$ represents a sphere of radius $r_A=1$,within which the electrostatic charge density varies with the radial distance $r$ from the center as $\rho_A=k r$,where $k$ is positive. In the spherical shell $B$ of outer radius $r_B$,the electrostatic charge density varies as $\rho_B=\frac{2 k}{r}$. Assume that dimensions are taken care of. All physical quantities are in their $SI$ units. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?

Consider a sphere of radius $R$ which carries a uniform charge density $\rho$.
