A hollow non-conducting spherical shell has inner radius R1 = 9 cm and outer radius R2 = 18 cm. A charge Q = -45 nC lies at the center of the shell. The shell carries a spherically symmetric charge density ρ = Ar for R1 < r < R2 that increases linearly with radius, where A = 19 μC/m4.
a. What is the radial electric field at the point r = 0.5R1? Give the answer in units of kN/C, and take the positive direction outwards.
b. What is the radial electric field at the point r = 0.5(R1+R2)? Give your answer in units of kN/C.

where B is a constant and r is the distance from the center of the sphere. What is electric field at any point inside the sphere?
Solution
To find the electric field inside the non-uniformly charged sphere, we may apply integration method or the Gauss's Law method.
Here, let us use the Gauss's law which is expressed as
fE - dÃ= Q

We will choose a symmetric Gaussian surface, which is the surface of a sphere, then evaluate the dot product to obtain
A =
(Equation 1)
The issue however is how much charge does the Gaussian surface encloses?
Since, our sphere is an insulating material, charges will get distributed non-uniformly within the volume of the object. So, we look into the definition of volume
charge density to find the enclosed charge. So, we have

An infinitely long, solid cylindrical insulator has radius R1 = 14 cm and volume charge density p. The electric field at the curved surface of the cylinder is measured to have magnitude E1 = 9.4 x 103 N/C. A solid sphere with radius R1 = 30 cm has the same charge density p. Determine the electric field E2 at the sphere's surface in terms of E1, R1, and R2.
