For the following parts, assume you have a hollowed solid where the hollow region has a radius of 1/3 of the whole solid and the charge density can be expressed as
?=??2 with units of ?/?3
where r is measured in meters and β is a constant. Determine the value and units of β for the following cases: a) a sphere with outer radius of 12.0 cm and total charge of +8.73 μC and b) a cylinder with an outer radius of 15.0 cm, length of 50.0 cm, and total charge of – 6.73 μC.
