To solve the problem of finding the electric field due to a uniformly distributed charge \( +Q \) within a sphere of radius \( R \) at a point a distance \( r \) from the center of the sphere, we will analyze two cases: ### Case (i): \( 0 < r < R \) 1. **Identify the Charge Density**: The charge density \( \rho \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \rho = \frac{Q}{\text{Volume of the sphere}} = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3} ...
