Q.

A system consists of a uniformly charged sphere of radius R and a surrounding medium filled by a charge with the volume density ρ=αr, where α is a positive constant and r is the distance from the centre of the sphere. Find the charge of the sphere for which the electric field intensity E outside the sphere is independent of R.

Detailed Solution

Using Gauss's theorem for spherical surface of radius r outside the sphere with the charge q

0rEds=1ε00rρ(r)dV

 E4πr2=1ε0(q+Rrαr(4πr2)dr)

 E4πr2=(q2παR2)ε0+4παr22ε0

The intensity E does not depend on R if q2παR2ε0=0 or q=2παR2
