The region between two concentric spheres of radii a < b contain volume charge density ρ(r) = `"c"/"r"`, where c is constant and r is radial- distanct from centre no figure needed. A point charge q is placed at the origin, r = 0. Value of c is in such a way for which the electric field in the region between the spheres is constant (i.e. independent of r). Find the value of c:
