A sphere of radius R has total charge Q. The volume charge density (C/m3) within the sphere is rho(r)=C/r2, where C is a constan

t to be determined. Part A The charge within a small volume dV is dq=rhodV. The integral of rhodV over the entire volume of the sphere is the total charge Q. Use this fact to determine the constant C in terms of Q and R. Hint: Let dV be a spherical shell of radius r and thickness dr. What is the volume of such a shell? Express your answer in terms of the variables Q and R.

Answer: C = Q/4πR

Explanation:

Volume(V) of a sphere = 4πr^3

Charge within a small volume 'dV' is given by:

dq = ρ(r)dV

ρ(r) = C/r^2

Volume(V) of a sphere = 4/3(πr^3)

dV/dr = (4/3)×3πr^2

dV = 4πr^2dr

Therefore,

dq = ρ(r)dV ; dq =ρ(r)4πr^2dr

dq = C/r^2[4πr^2dr]

dq = 4Cπdr

FOR TOTAL CHANGE 'Q', we integrate dq

∫dq = ∫4Cπdr at r = R and r = 0

∫4Cπdr = 4Cπr

Q = 4Cπ(R - 0)

Q = 4CπR - 0

Q = 4CπR

C = Q/4πR

The value of C in terms of Q and R is [Q/4πR]

How can you drop two eggs the fewest amount of times, without them breaking?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Both eggs are identical. The aim is to find out the highest floor from which an egg will not break when dropped out of a window from that floor. If an egg is dropped and does not break, it is undamaged and can be dropped again. However, once an egg is broken, that's it for that egg.
