One more thing, does this mean that the one-dimensional delta function is endowed with the units of 1/length?

Ok, thanks. That makes sense now; so now I should say, for a volume containing a spherical shell of radius R centered at the origin: \int_V \rho\cdot\delta (r-R)\cdot r^2\,dr\,sin\,\theta\, d\theta\, d\varphi=Q \rho\int_0^\infty r^2 \delta (r-R)\, dr \int_0^\pi sin\,\theta\, d\theta...

Homework Statement We learned in E&M about the Dirac Delta function and its applications to representing the densities of point charges in space. For example, the charge density of space with a point charge q at the origin is given by q*delta(r). How does this density representation work with...
