← A solid insulating sphere has a uniform charge density ρ throughout its volume. A spherical cavity is cut out of it, as shown in the figure. The centre of the cavity is at a distance d from the centre of the sphere, and the cavity is entirely inside the sphere. The electric field inside the cavity isTwo bulbs are marked 100 W, 220 V and 60 W, 220 V. They are connected in series across a 220 V supply. Treat their resistances as fixed. Which bulb glows brighter, and roughly what powers do they use? →
