Q.

A non-conducting sphere of radius R has a charge distributed throughout its volume. The charge density ρ varies with distance r from the centre of the sphere as ρ=KrR,where K is a constant. The electric field at a point P inside the sphere at a distance r(<R) is

Detailed Solution

We assume the Gaussian surface of radius r. To find the charge q enclosed inside this surface, we consider a thin spherical shell of radius a and thickness da

Question Image

Volume of the shell is dV=4πa2da. So the charge contained in the shell is
dq=ρ×4πa2da =KaR×4πa2da (  r=a)
Therefore, the total charge enclosed inside the Gaussian surface is
q=a=0a=rdq=4πKR0ra3da =4πKr44R=πKr4R 
Electric flux through the Gaussian surface is
ϕ=EA=E×4πr2
From Gauss's law,
ϕ=qϵ0
or
E×4πr2=πKr4R0
  E=Kr24Rϵ0
