In a spherical distribution, the charge density varies as ρ r = A r for a < r < b (as shown) where A is a constant. A point charge Q lies at the centre of the sphere at r = 0 . The electric field in the region a < r < b has a constant magnitude for
Options
- AA = 0
- BA = Q
- CA = Q 2 π a 2
- DA = Q 4 π a 2
Correct answer
C. A = Q 2 π a 2
Step-by-step solution
Q in = ∫ a r A r × 4 π r 2 dr + Q = 2 π A r 2 - a 2 + Q E = Q in 4 πr 2 ε 0 ⇒ E = A 2 - a 2 A 2r 2 + Q 4 πr 2 ε 0 For E = constant, - a 2 A 2r 2 + Q 4 π r 2 = 0 ⇒ A = Q 2 π a 2
