![Title: Charge Density of a Hollow Spherical Shell
---
**Concept:**
A hollow spherical shell carries a charge density that is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance. This is mathematically represented as:
\[
\rho = \frac{K}{r^2}
\]
where \(\rho\) is the charge density, \(K\) is a constant, and \(r\) is the radial distance from the center.
**Problem Statement:**
Consider the shell in the region \(a \leq r \leq b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are the inner and outer radii, respectively. The task is to find the total charge of the shell.
**Diagram:**
The diagram drawn shows a concentric spherical shell with an inner radius \(a\) and an outer radius \(b\). The diagram includes two circles, one within the other, with lines marking the radii \(a\) and \(b\).
**Objective:**
Calculate the total charge within the specified region of the spherical shell.
