A spherical charge distribution has a volume charge density that is a function only of r, the distance from the center of the distribution (rho=rho(r)). If rho(r) is given below, determine the electric field as a function of r using Gauss’s law. (A) rho=A/r for 0<r<R where A is a constant; rho=0 for r>R. (B) rho=rho0 (a constant) for 0<r<R; rho=0 for r>R. (C) Integrate the results to obtain an expression for the electric potential subject to the restriction that V(infinity)=0.
