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
