An isolated sphere of radius $R$ contains uniform volume distribution of positive charge. Which of the curve shown below, correctly illustrates the dependence of the magnitude of the electric field of the sphere as a function of the distance $r$ from its centre?

A

$I$

B

$II$

C

$III$

D

$IV$

(KVPY-2011)

Solution

(b)

Electric field $E$ of a solid sphere varies with distance from centre $r$ as

$E=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} C_1 \cdot r, r < 0 \\ \frac{C_2}{r^2}, r \geq 0\end{array}\right.$

where, $C_1$ and $C_2$ are constants. So, correct graph of Eversus $r$ is
