$A$ solid metallic sphere has a charge $+3Q$. Concentric with this sphere is a conducting spherical shell having charge $-Q$. The radius of the sphere is $a$ and that of the spherical shell is $b$ $(b > a)$. What is the electric field at a distance $R$ $(a < R < b)$ from the center?

  • A
    $3Q / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2$
  • B
    $Q / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2$
  • C
    $2Q / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2$
  • D
    $4Q / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2$
