Question
Consider a spherically symmetric distribution of charge where the charge density as a function of distance from the center is given by ? (r) = 9.3 r4 x 10-12 C/m3 (note the 10-12 will cancel the 10-12 in ?0). This charge distribution extends from r = 0 to r = 5.3 m, and beyond that the charge density is 0. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field r = 8.1 m away from the center of the distribution, in N/C. Use ?0 = 8.85 x 10-12 F/m.
(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
