Finding field strength using Gauss's Law
Question

The electric field due to a uniformly charged sphere of radius R as a function of the distance from its centre is represented graphically by :

Moderate
Solution

The electric field for a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere increases linearly from zero at the centre to maximum at the surface. Outside the sphere the field reduces according to inverse-square law with increasing distance from the centre.
