Let $\rho (r) = \frac{Q}{\pi R^4} r$ be the volume charge density distribution for a solid sphere of radius $R$ and total charge $Q$. For a point $p$ inside the sphere at distance $r_1$ from the centre of the sphere,the magnitude of the electric field is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 r_1^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q r_1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^4}$
  • D
    $\frac{Q r_1^2}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 R^4}$
