Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 55P
A charge distribution that is spherically symmetric but not uniform radially produces an electric field of magnitude E − Kr4, directed radially outward from the center of the sphere. Here r is the radial distance from that center, and K is a constant. What is the volume density ρ of the charge; distribution?
