The region between two concentric spheres ofradii '$a$' and '$b$', respectively (see figure), have volume charge density $\rho = \frac{A}{r}$ where $A$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance from the centre. At the centre of the spheres is a point charge $Q$. The value of $A$ such that the electric field in the region between the spheres will be constant, is :
