How to plot it graph in Mathematica

AI Thread Summary
To plot the potential inside a uniformly charged sphere in Mathematica, the equation must be modified to assign specific values to the parameters Q, ε₀, and R. The correct format for the plot should be Plot[Q/(4 π ε₀) (1/(2 R) (3 - r²/R²)), {r, 0, R}]. Without these assignments, Mathematica cannot interpret the equation as a function of a single variable. Users are encouraged to consult the Mathematica documentation for further guidance on plotting functions. Proper parameter assignment is essential for successful graphing.

The potential inside of a uniformly charged sphere of radius R is given by \frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}}\frac{1}{2R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2}).
Please help me on how to plot this equation in Mathematica

Thanks for the help, but it shows error.
 
You cannot plot it as a general formula. You need to assign values to the parameters (Q, epsilon_o, R) so you will have a function of one variable only (r).
 
Oops my bad, sorry :)
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
