Step 1

First, let's consider a small element of volume within the sphere, located at a distance r from the center of the sphere. The charge within this element of volume can be calculated as: dQ = Pg * dV where dV is the volume of the element, which can be expressed as Show more…

A solid nonconducting sphere of radius rg has a total charge Q which is distributed according to p(z - b) where Pg is the charge per unit volume, or charge density C/m and b is a constant. Determine the electric field at points outside the sphere. Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, r, and appropriate constants.
