Paragraph: The nuclear charge ( Ze ) is non-uniformly distributed within a nucleus of radius R . The charge density (r) [charge per unit volume] is dependent only on the radial distance r from the centre of the nucleus as shown in figure. The electric field is only along the radial direction. Question: The electric field at r=R is
Options
- Aindependent of a
- Bdirectly proportional to a
- Cdirectly proportional to a^2
- Dinversely proportional to a
Correct answer
A. independent of a
Step-by-step solution
At r=R , from Gauss's law or aligned E (4 R^2 ) & = q_ net ₀ = Z e ₀ E & = 1 4 ₀ Z e R^2 aligned E is independent of ' a ' correct option is (a).
