Hey,
I have a series of questions on a basic charged sphere and deriving quantities such as the infinitesimal charge, the total charge and the electric field. The question is part (b) in the image below:
So I found dQ' by equating it to the surface area of a shell at a distance r' multiplied by the corresponding charge density to attain:
dQ'=\frac{4\pi \rho _{0}r'^6dr'}{R^4}
Is this right?
And then for the next part I just integrated over r' for some r'<R to attain:
Q=\frac{4\pi\rho _{0}r'^7}{7R^4}
and then the last part I wish to query is my electric field magnitude, which I attained from equating the product of the electric field and area of some shell at distance r' to the charge divided by the permitivitty of free space to attain:
E=\frac{\rho _{0}r'^5}{7R^4\epsilon _{0}}
Is this right?
Thanks guys!
Any feedback appreciated,
