Consider a solid insulating sphere of radius $R$ with charge density varying as $\rho = \rho_0 r^2$,where $\rho_0$ is a constant and $r$ is measured from the centre. Consider two points $A$ and $B$ at distances $x$ and $y$ respectively $(x < R, y > R)$ from the centre. If the magnitudes of the electric fields at points $A$ and $B$ are equal,then:

  • A
    $x^2y = R^3$
  • B
    $x^3y^2 = R^5$
  • C
    $x^2y^3 = R^5$
  • D
    $\frac{x^4}{y} = R^5$
