Solution

The correct option is A Directed towards the gap, inversely proportional to R3.

If the gap is created, then net electric field at the centre is in a direction towards the gap because if the gap is filled then Enet at centre =0
E=KqR2
As charge is distributed along length (q=Qd2πR)
E=KQd2πR3
