1. calculate the charge on the volume.

2. calculate the magnitude of the electric flux density at a point given as P(R = 8, theta = pi/2, phi = 0).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since unit of the r1, rand R is not given we assume they are in SI unit.

Given a spherical shell with Inner radius r1=3m, outer radius r2=5m. Having volume charge density rho=2R C/m3 it means density is varying with radius.

Now let's consider a small spherical element with radius r1<R<r2 having thickness dR.
