Question

A system of charges consists of a sphere of radius R with spherically symmetric charge density and the space outside filled with charge with volume density ρ = α/r where α is a constant, and r is the distance from the center of the sphere. What should be the total charge on the sphere so that the electric field outside the sphere (r > R) is independent of r? (You may use Gauss’s law)

Name: a system of charges consists of a sphere of radius r with spherically symmetric charge density and the space outside filled with charge with volume density r where is a constant and r is the 91168
