(III) Charge is distributed within a solid sphere of radius r0 in such a way that the charge density is a function of the radial position within the sphere of the form: ρE(r) = ρ0(r/r0). If the total charge within the sphere is Q (and positive), what is the electric field everywhere within the sphere in terms of Q, r0, and the radial position r?
