### Description of the Diagram:

The diagram depicts a cross-section of two concentric spheres. The inner sphere is labeled "Insulator" and is surrounded by a "Metallic Shell." There are two spheres:

1. **Insulator (Inner Sphere)**
   - Radius: 2 cm
   - Charge: -6 μC
   - It has a uniform volume charge density.

2. **Metallic Shell (Outer Sphere)**
   - Inner Radius: 4 cm
   - Outer Radius: 8 cm
   - Net Charge: -6 μC

### Problem Description:

An insulating sphere with a radius of 2 cm and a charge of -6 μC is enclosed by a spherical metallic shell. The metallic shell has an inner radius of 4 cm and an outer radius of 8 cm, with a net charge of -6 μC. The insulating sphere maintains a uniform volume charge density.

**Question:**  
What is the electric field (E field) at a distance of 2.6 cm from the center of the insulating sphere?
