Question

This question has statement and statement . Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. An insulating solid sphere of radius has a uniformly positive charge density . As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of 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 : When a charge is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere, its potential energy changes by Statement : The electric field at a distance from the centre of the sphere is
