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 $\rho_B=\frac{2 k}{r}$. Assume that dimensions are taken care of. All physical quantities are in their $SI$ units. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?

  • A
    If $r_B=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$,then the electric field is zero everywhere outside $B$.
  • B
    If $r_B=\frac{3}{2}$,then the electric potential just outside $B$ is $\frac{k}{\epsilon_0}$.
  • C
    If $r_B=2$,then the total charge of the configuration is $15 \pi k$.
  • D
    If $r_B=\frac{5}{2}$,then the magnitude of the electric field just outside $B$ is $\frac{13 \pi k}{\epsilon_0}$.
