In the figure a nonconducting spherical shell of inner radius a = 2.23 cm and outer radius b= 2.70 cm has (within its thickness) a positive volume charge density p = A/r, where A is a constant and r is the distance from the center of the shell. In addition, a small ball of charge q = 46.7 fC is located at that center. What value should A have if the electric field in the shell (a srs b) is to be uniform?
