(a) We integrate the volume charge density over the volume and require the result be equal to the total

charge:

ρ = Q .

Substituting the expression ρ = ρ

s

r/R and performing the integration leads to

(b) At a certain point within the sphere, at some distance r

o

from the center, the field (see Eq. 24-8

through Eq. 24-10) is given by Gauss’ law:

E =

where q

is given by an integral similar to that worked in part (a):

Therefore,

and simplifies to the desired result (shown in the problem statement) if we change notation r
