Q.

The region between two concentric spheres of radii ‘a’ and ‘b’ respectively (see figure), has volume charge densityρ=Ar , where A is a constant and r is the distance from the centre. At the centre of the sphere is a point charge Q. The value of A such that the electric field in the region between the spheres will be constant, is

Detailed Solution

Given data: volume charge density ρ=Ar

Concept used: gauss law 

Detailed solution:

Total charge enclosed in a sphere of radius r,

Qin=Q+arAr4πr2dr=Q+2πAr2-2πAa2

by gauss law,

E×4πr2=Qinε0

So the charge enclosed must be proportional to r2

Q-2πAa2=0

A=Q2πa2
