A spherical shell insulator is shown in cross-section in the figure. It has inner radius a, outer radius b, and the point P is located a distance r from the origin. The shell has a total charge Q uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Which is a correct use of Gauss's law to find the magnitude of the electric field E at point P?
