A solid metal sphere of radius R having charge q is enclosed inside the concentric spherical shell of inner radius a and outer radius b as shown in the figure. The approximate variation of the electric field `vecE` as a function of distance r from centre O is given by

Explanation:

As far as we are aware, the conductor is not charged.

When taking into account an innermost sphere 

For region or 0 < r < R, E = 0 

R < r < a, E ∝ `1/r^2`

The shell is empty. So there is no charge inside the shell.

a < r < b ⇒ E = 0

For the region, r > b,

E ∝ `1/r^2`
