The region between two concentric spheres of radii ‘a’ and ‘b’, respectively (see figure), has volume charge density ρ = A/r , where A is a constant and r is the distance from the centre. At the centre of the spheres is a point charge Q. The value of A such that the electric field in the region between the spheres will be constant is:

This question has statement 1 and statement 2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
An insulating solid sphere of radius R has a uniformly positive charge density ρ. As a result of this uniform charge distribution, there is a finite value of the electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the
surface of the sphere and also at a point out side the sphere. The electric potential at infinity is zero.
Statement 1: When a charge q is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere, its potential energy changes by qρ/3εo
Statement 2: The electric field at a distance r(r < R) from the centre of the sphere is  ρr/3εo

  • Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for statement 1.

  • Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false

  • Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

  • Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true


C.

Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true


Statement 2 is correct

statement 1 is incorrect.
