1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium

The electric field in a region is radially outward with magnitude $E = A{\gamma _0}$. The charge contained in a sphere of radius ${\gamma _0}$ centered at the origin is

A

$\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}A\gamma _0^3$

B

$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}A\gamma _0^3$

C

$\frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}A}}{{{\gamma _0}}}$

D

$\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{A}{{\gamma _0^3}}$

Solution

(b) Flux linked with the given sphere $\varphi = \frac{Q}{{{\varepsilon _o}}};$
where $Q$ = Charge enclosed by the sphere.
Hence $Q = \varphi \varepsilon_o = (EA)\varepsilon_o$
$Q = 4\pi (\gamma_o)^2 \times A \varepsilon_o \gamma_0 = 4\pi \varepsilon_o A \gamma_0^3.$
