(8%)arrow_forward(II) The 1/r² form of Coulomb's law implies the following: (i) The electric field is zero at all points inside a uniformly charged shell. (ii) The electric field outside a uniformly charged sphere can be found by treating the charge as being concentrated at the center. Use these facts to show that within a uniformly charged sphere of radius R having a volume charge density p C/m³, the field strength increases linearly with the distance r from the center. That is, Ex r for r < R.arrow_forward
