Q.

Two non-conducting solid spheres of radii  R  and 2R, having uniform volume charge densities, ρ1  and  ρ2 respectively, touch each other. The net electric field at a distance  2R, from the centre of the smaller sphere, along the line joining the centres of the spheres, is zero. The ratio  ρ1ρ2 can be

Electric field  E1 due to smaller sphere ‘A’ at Q E1=14πε043πR3ρ1(2R)2 
Electric field  E2  due to bigger sphere’B’ at Q
