A ball of radius carries a positive charge whose volume density depends only on the separation from the ball’s centre as , where is a constant. Assuming the permittivity of the ball and the environment to be equal to unity, find :
(i) The magnitude of the electric field strength as a function of the distance r both inside and outside the ball;
(ii) The maximum intensity and the corresponding distance .
Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields






Consider a region in free space bounded by the surfaces of an imaginary cube having sides of length as shown in the figure. A charge is placed at the centre of the cube. is such a point outside the cube that the line perpendicularly intersects the surface at and also . A charge is placed at point also. What is the total electric flux through the five faces of the cube other than


What is the electric flux for Gaussian surface A that encloses the charged particles in free space? [Given:




Given below are two statements
Statement : An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a hollow sphere. The flux of electric field through the sphere is zero, but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere.
Statement : If is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and be the total charge on it. The electric field at any point on the spherical surface of radius is zero but the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius is not
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:


Arrangement of charges are shown in the figure. Flux linked with the closed surface and respectively are ________ and ________ .
