A spherically symmetric charge distribution is considered with charge density varying as

$$\rho(r)= \begin{cases}\rho_{0}\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{r}{R}\right) & \text { for } r \leq R \\ \text { zero } & \text { for } r>R\end{cases}$$

Where, $$r(r < R)$$ is the distance from the centre O (as shown in figure). The electric field at point P will be:

Given below are two statements.

Statement I : Electric potential is constant within and at the surface of each conductor.

Statement II : Electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at every point.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Two metallic wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If $$\sigma_{1}$$ and $$\sigma_{2}$$ are the conductivities of the these wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is :

An alternating emf $$\mathrm{E}=440 \sin 100 \pi \mathrm{t}$$ is applied to a circuit containing an inductance of $$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\pi} \mathrm{H}$$. If an a.c. ammeter is connected in the circuit, its reading will be :
