Question

The electric field strength outside a finite distribution of charge
whose volume charge density depends only on the radial distance from
the center (i.e., ρ = ρ(r))

 

(A) varies as 1/r.
(B) varies as 1/³.
(C) varies as 1/².
(D) varies as lnr.
(E) depends on the angular inclination of the point where the field is
measured relative to the center.
