In this distribution a spherical cavity of radius `R_(2)`, centred at `P` with distance `OP = a = R_(1) - R_(2)` (fig) is made.If the electric field inside the cavity at position `vec(r )`, then the correct statement is

A

E is uniform, its magnitude is independent of `R_(2)` but its direction depends on r.

B

E is uniform, its magnitude depends on `R_(2)` and its direction depends on r

C

E is uniform, its magnitude is independent of a but its direction depends on a.

D

Eis uniform and both its magnitude and direction depend on magnitude and direction of a
