Question

Consider a sphere of radius R with unform charged density and total charge Q . The electrostatic potential distribution inside the sphere is given by &#981; ( r ) = Q 4 &#960; &#949; 0 R a + b ( r / R ) c . Note that the zero of potential is at infinity The values of ( a , &#160; b , &#160; c ) are:

Correct answer: B. 3 2 , - 1 2 , 2

Potential inside uniformly charged solid sphere is given by V = k Q 2 R 3 3 R 2 - r 2 = k Q R 3 R 2 2 R 2 - r 2 2 R 2 = Q 4 &#960; &#8712; 0 R 3 2 - 1 2 r R 2 Compare with given formula, i.e, Q 4 &#960; &#8712; 0 R a + b r R C a = 3 2 , &#160; b = - 1 2 , c = 2
