A sphere of radius R has total charge Q. The volume charge density (C/m3) within the sphere is ρ(r)=C/r2, where C is a constant to be determined. The charge within a small volume dV is dq=ρdV. The integral of ρdV over the entire volume of the sphere is the total charge Q. Use this fact to determine the constant C in terms of Q and R. Hint: Let dV be a spherical shell of radius r and thickness dr. What...
