Consider a unifrom spherical charge distribution on of radius `R_(1)` centred at the origin O . In this distribution , a spherical cavity of radius `R_(2)` centred at P with distance `OP = a = R_(1)` ( see figure ) is made. If the electric field inside the cavity at position `vec(r)` is `vec(E) (vec(r))`, then the correct statement(s) is (are):

A

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

B

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

C

`vec(E)` is uniform, its magnitude is independent of a but its direction depends on `vec(a)`

D

`vec(E)` uniform, and both its magnitude and direction depends on `vec(a)`
