An infinitely long solid cylinder of radius $R$ has a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. It has a spherical cavity of radius $R/2$ with its centre on the axis of the cylinder,as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the electric field at the point $P$,which is at a distance $2R$ from the axis of the cylinder,is given by the expression $\frac{23\rho R}{16K\varepsilon_0}$. The value of $K$ is

    $6$
  • B

An electric dipole is placed on the $x$-axis in proximity to a line charge with a linear charge density of $3.0 \times 10^{-6} \, C/m$. The line charge is placed on the $z$-axis. The positive and negative charges of the dipole are at distances of $10 \, mm$ and $12 \, mm$ from the origin,respectively. If a total force of $4 \, N$ is exerted on the dipole,find the magnitude of the positive or negative charge of the dipole.
