A solid sphere of radius R has a non-uniform volume charge density \rho(r) and a constant surface charge density \sigma. If the field inside the sphere is uniform and radially atuned, and the field a distance 2R away from the center is zero, find \rho and \sigma in terms of R, r (distance from the center of the sphere), and Q_\text{volume} (the charge associated with \rho, but not with \sigma).
2. Relevant equations
Gauss's Law
3. The attempt at a solution
I'm not sure how to proceed, but I think the solution should begin by find the total charge on the sphere (ie., adding the integral of the charge calculable from the surface charge density with the integral of the charge calculable from the volume charge density). Am I on the right track?
