A sphere of radius r1=30 cm has a charge density variation p0(r/r1) where p0 =200pC/m^3. The value of total charge on the sphere is:
Total Charge with Variable Density Total Charge on Sphere (Variable Density) Given Radius R = 30 cm = 0.3 m Charge density: ρ(r) = 200 (r / R) pC/m³ Step 1: Convert to SI Units ρ(r) = 200 × 10 -12 × (r / R) Step 2: Use Charge Formula Q = ∫₀ᴿ ρ(r) · 4πr² dr Step 3: Substitute Q = ∫₀ᴿ (200 × 10 -12 × r/R) · 4πr² dr Step 4: Simplify Q = (200 × 10 -12 × 4π / R) ∫₀ᴿ r³ dr Step 5: Integrate ∫ r³ dr = r⁴ / 4 Q = (200 × 10 -12 × 4π / R) × (R⁴ / 4) Step 6: Simplify Q = 200π × 10 -12 × R³ Step 7: Substitute R = 0.3 R³ = (0.3)³ = 0.027 Q = 200π × 10 -12 × 0.027 Q = 5.4π × 10 -12 Final Answer: Q ≈ 1.7 × 10 -11 C Or, 17 pC Option A
