A solid sphere of charge is centered at the origin and has radius R = 10 cm. Instead of being uniformly charged, the charge density varies with radial position: ρ(r)=ρ0ar. Take a=5.1 m and ρ0=3.7 C/m³. What is the total charge of the sphere? What is the electric flux through a sherical surface of radius R/2 that is concentric with the charged sphere? What is the flux through a spherical surface of radius 2R that surrounds the charged sphere, but is not concentric with it?
