A space is filled up with a charge with volume desnsity `rho = rho_(0) e^(-alpha r^(3))`, where `rho_(0)` and `alpha` are positive constansts, `r` is the distance from the centre of this system. Find the magnitude of the electric field strength vector as a function of `r`. Investigate the obtained expresssion for the small and large values of `r, i.e.,` at `alpha r^(3) lt lt 1` and `alpha r^(3) gt gt 1`.
