A solid sphere of radius R has a charge Q distributed in its volume with a charge densityρ = κra, where κ and a are constants and r is the distance from its centre. If the electricfield at r =R/2 is 1/8 times that at r = R, find the value of a."
Dear Anantika Shakya,
Ans:- The total charge is Q. Hence if we integrate the charge we shall get Q
Let us consider a thin spherical shell of thickness dr it'vol is 4∏r² dr and charge will be kra times of this hence From Gauss's law we get the value of the field at r=R/2 is
E 4∏(R/2)²=∫4∏kar³ dr=∏ka(R/2)^4
E=kaR²/16ε...............(1)
again the field at r=R is =Q/4∏R²ε...............(2)
The ratio is 1:8 hence we get
a=Q/(2∏kR^4)
