Question
A non-uniformly charged insulating sphere has a volume charge density p that is expressed as
p= Br
where B is a constant, and r is the radius from the center of the sphere. If the, the total charge of the sphere is Q and its maximum radius is R. What is the value for B?
Sol.
By definition, the volume charge density is expressed infinitesimally as
p=
where in
is the infinitesimal charge and
is the infinitesimal volume.
So, we haye
p = dq/
So we can write this as
dq = B
dV
But,
dV =
dr
By substitution, we get the following
dq = 4BT
dr
Using Integration operation and evaluating its limits, the equation, leads to
Q =
BT
Rearranging, we get
B =
/( T
