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 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 $\frac{q p}{3 ϵ _{0}}$
Statement 2: The electric field at a distance $r (r < R)$ from the centre of the spere is $\frac{ρ r}{3 ϵ _{0}}$

Statement 1: When a charge q is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere, its potential energy changes by

\frac{q p}{3 ϵ _{0}}

Statement 2: The electric field at a distance

r (r < R)

from the centre of the spere is
