Consider an atom with atomic number $Z$ as consisting of a positive point charge at the centre and surrounded by a distribution of negative electricity uniformly distributed within a sphere of radius $R$. The electric field at a point inside the atom at a distance $r$ from the centre is

  • A

    $\frac{ Ze }{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}\left[\frac{1}{r^2}-\frac{r}{R^3}\right]$

  • B

    $\frac{Z e}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}\left[\frac{1}{r^2}+\frac{1}{R^3}\right]$

  • C

    $\frac{2 Z e}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$

  • D

    $0$
