The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electric potential \( V(r) \) given by the equation: \[ V(r) = \alpha r^2 + \beta \] where \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are positive constants. We will find the electric field \( E \) inside the charged ball using the relationship between electric potential and electric field. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between electric potential and electric field The electric field \( E \) is related to the electric potential \( V \) by the formula: \[ E = -\frac{dV}{dr} \] This means that to find the electric field, we need to take the derivative of the potential with respect to the distance \( r \). ### Step 2: Differentiate the potential function Now we will differentiate the given potential function \( V(r) \): \[ V(r) = \alpha r^2 + \beta \] Taking the derivative with respect to \( r \): \[ \frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{d}{dr}(\alpha r^2 + \beta) = 2\alpha r + 0 = 2\alpha r \] ### Step 3: Calculate the electric field Now, substituting this result into the formula for the electric field: \[ E = -\frac{dV}{dr} = -2\alpha r \] ### Step 4: Analyze the result From our calculation, we find that the electric field inside the charged ball is: \[ E = -2\alpha r \] Since \( \alpha \) is a positive constant, the electric field \( E \) is directed towards the center of the ball (indicated by the negative sign) and its magnitude increases linearly with \( r \). ### Conclusion The electric field inside the charged ball is given by: \[ E = -2\alpha r \]
