A solid non-conducting sphere of radius R carries a charge Q distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At a certain distance r (r < R) from the center of the sphere, the electric field has magnitude E. If the same charge Q were distributed uniformly throughout a similar sphere of radius 2R, the magnitude of the electric field at the same distance r from the center would be equal to: 2R
