Expert Solution
Part A

The potential at some position is defined as the negative of work done per unit charge to bring the test charge from infinity to that place, i.e. mathematically

V(r)=-rE·dr^        (1)

Given that the electric field has expression,

E(r)=0                    :   r<R14πε0qr2r^    :    r>R          (2)

 

And the sphere of radius 3m contains a total charge q=23µC.

Substituting (2) in (1) gives the potential as,

V(r<R)=-R14πε0qr2r^·dr^ -Rr0·dr^V(r<R)=-R14πε0qr2dr V(r<R)=-14πε0-qrRV(r<R)=14πε0qR-qV(r<R)=14πε0(qR)
