    $E \propto r^{-2}$
  • B
    $E \propto r^{-1}$
  • C
    $E \propto r$

$A$ non-conducting solid sphere of radius $R$ has a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. The electric potential at the center of the sphere is related to the potential at the surface and outside the sphere due to this uniform charge distribution.
Statement-$1$: When a charge $q$ is moved from the surface to the center of the sphere,the change in its potential energy is $q\rho R^2 / 6\varepsilon_0$.
Statement-$2$: The electric field at a distance $r$ $(r < R)$ from the center of the sphere is $\rho r / 3\varepsilon_0$.
