### Understanding the Spherical Shell of Charge

#### Figure 3: Spherical Shell of Charge

The diagram illustrates a spherical shell with charge distribution. The shell is represented with two concentric circles. The inner radius is denoted as \( r_a \) and the outer radius as \( r_b \). The region between these two radii is shaded, indicating the area where the charge resides.

#### Charge Density

The hollow spherical shell carries a charge density given by the formula:

\[
\rho = \frac{\beta}{r^2}
\]

This density exists in the region from \( r_a \leq r \leq r_b \).

#### Problem Statement

Determine the electric field for the following cases:

a) When \( r < r_a \)

b) When \( r_a \leq r \leq r_b \)

c) When \( r > r_b \)

This setup provides a foundational understanding of how electric fields vary within and outside a charged spherical shell, exploring concepts of electric forces, field equations, and the principle of Gauss's law in electrostatics.
