Chapter 19, Problem 50P

An insulating solid sphere of radius a has a uniform volume charge density and carries a total positive charge Q. A spherical gaussian surface of radius r, which shares a common center with the insulating sphere, is inflated starting from r = 0. (a) Find an expression for the electric flux passing through the surface of the gaussian sphere as a function of r for r < a. (b) Find an expression for the electric flux for r > a. (c) Plot the flux versus r.
