QUESTION:

CALC A nonuniform, but spherically symmetric, distribution of charge has a charge density  given as follows:

\(p(r)=p_{0}(1-r / R)\) \(r \leq R\)

\(r \geq R\)

where \(p_{0} 3 Q / \pi R^{3}\) is a positive constant. (a) Show that the total charge contained in the charge distribution is  (b) Show that the electric field in the region \(r \geq R\) is identical to that produced by a point charge  at  (c) Obtain an expression for the electric field in the region \(r \leq R\) (d) Graph the electric-field magnitude  as a function of . (e) Find the value of  at which the electric field is maximum, and find the value of that maximum field.
