In the figure, the inner (shaded) region $A$ represents a sphere of radius $r_A=1$, within which the electrostatic charge density varies with the radial distance $r$ from the center as $\rho_A=k r$, where $k$ is positive. In the spherical shell $B$ of outer radius $r_B$, the electrostatic charge density varies as $\rho_{\bar{B}}=\frac{2 k}{r}$. Assume that dimensions are taken care of. All physical quantities are in their $SI$ units.

Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct?

  • AIf $r_B=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$, then the electric field is zero everywhere outside $B$.
  • BIf $r_B=\frac{3}{2}$, then the electric potential just outside $B$ is $\frac{k}{\in_0}$.
  • C If $r_B=2$, then the total charge of the configuration is $15 \pi k$.
  • DIf $r_B=\frac{5}{2}$, then the magnitude of the electric field just outside $B$ is $\frac{13 \pi k}{\in_0}$.

    An electric dipole is formed by two charges $+q$ and $-q$ located in xy-plane at $(0,2) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(0,-2) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively, as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $\mathrm{P}(100,100) \mathrm{mm}$ due to the dipole is $V_0$. The charges $+q$ and $-q$ are then moved to the points $(-1,2) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(1,-2) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. What is the value of electric potential at $P$ due to the new dipole?
