The volume charge density inside a solid sphere of radius $a$ is $\rho=\rho_{0} r / a,$ where $\rho_{0}$ is a constant. Find (a) the total charge and (b) the electric field strength within the sphere, as a function of distance $r$ from the center.
A sphere of linear dielectric material has embedded in it a uniform free charge density. If the radius of the sphere is R find: a) the electric displacement, electric field and polarization for r<R b) the electric field for r>R c) the potential at the center of the sphere

(a) An insulating sphere with radius a has a uniform charge density Ģ. The sphere is not centered at the origin but at r = b. Show that the electric field inside the sphere is given by E = Ģ(r - b)/3Ģ_o. (b) An insulating sphere of radius R has a spherical hole of radius a located within its volume and centered a distance b from the center of the sphere, where a<b<R (a cross section of the sphere is shown in Fig.). The solid part of the sphere has a uniform volume charge density Ģ. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field E inside the hole, and show that E is uniform over the entire hole. [Hint: Use the principle of superposition and the result of part (a).]
