An infinitely long solid cylinder of radius $R$ has a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. It has a spherical cavity of radius $R / 2$ with its centre on the axis of the cylinder, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the electric field at the point $P$, which is at a distance $2 \ R$ from the axis of the cylinder, is given by the expression $\frac{23 \rho R }{16 k \varepsilon_0}$. The value of $k$ is

A closed surface S is constructed around a conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch $($figure$)$. As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface $S$ is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:
