Positive charge is distributed in a sphere of radius R that is centered at the origin. Inside the sphere, the electric
field is Ē(r) = kr-1/4 f, where k is a positive constant. There is no charge outside the sphere.
a) How is the charge distributed inside the sphere? In particular, find an equation for the charge density, p.
b) Determine the electric field, E(r), for r > R (outside the sphere).

A spherical insulator with radius R is centered at the origin. The volume charge density ρ of the insulator is non-uniform and varies with position according to ρ(r) =ar, where a is a constant. Derive an expression for the electric field E(r) for all points outside the sphere (r > R). Hint: finding the total charge of the sphere will require an integral.
