A sphere of radius R has total charge Q. the volume chrage density within the sphere is
p=p_0(1-r/R)
the charge density decreases linearly from p_0 at the center to zero at the edge of the sphere.
1) show that p_0= 3Q/pi*R^3
to find this i used p*volume=Q
Q/volume=p
p_0(1-r/R)=Q/volume and the volume of a sphere is 4/3pi*r^3
is this right??
