1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
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
