For a charged spherical ball, electrostatic potential inside the ball varies with r as V = 2 a r 2 + b . Here, a and b are constant and r is the distance from the center. The volume charge density inside the ball is - λ a ε . The value of λ is ______. ε = permittivity of medium.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
As we know, E = - d V d r = - 4 a r Now, electric field inside the charged sphere is given by E = ρ r 3 ε . Comparing both, we get ρ = - 12 a ε . Therefore, λ = 12 .
