An isolated metal sphere of radius R, carrying an electric charge Q, is situated in the medium of relative permitivity, Er. A test charge is placed at a point p, distance r from the surface of the sphere. Let Eo represent the permitivity of free space. The magnitude of the electric field intensity at P is given by the expression

a

\(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_r r^2}\)

b

\(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_r(R + r)^2}\)

c

\(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_r(R - r)^2}\)

d

\(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_rR^2}\)

SORRY BUT OPTION B is correct
if the answer is D, then my school did not put their question clearly. It means they meant r=0

a is much more correct, cos the small letter r is the distance from the surface of the Sphere
