Obtain equation of electric energy of a single charge.

Explain electric potential energy. Show that the sum of kinetic energy and electric potential energy remains constant.

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.
