This question has statement 111 and statement 222 . Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. An insulating solid sphere of radius R\mathrm{R}R has a uniformly positive charge density ρ\rhoρ. 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 111: When a charge qqq is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere, its potential energy changes by qp3ε0\frac{\mathrm{qp}}{3 \varepsilon_0}3ε0​qp​ Statement 222: The electric field at a distance r(r<R)r(r < R)r(r<R) from the centre of the sphere is ρr3ε0\frac{\rho r}{3 \varepsilon_0}3ε0​ρr​
