A conducting sphere of radius R has a total charge Q uniformly distributed on its surface. The sphere is immersed in an insulating oil with a permittivity of ε = 4ε₀. How does the magnitude of the electric field at a distance 2R from the center of the sphere compare to its magnitude in a vacuum?

A

It remains unchanged

B

It is 1/16 times the value in vacuum

C

It is 1/4 times the value in vacuum
