The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the charge contained in a sphere of radius \( \gamma_0 \) centered at the origin, given that the electric field \( E \) in the region is radially outward with a magnitude of \( E = A \gamma_0 \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electric Field**: The electric field \( E \) is given as \( E = A \gamma_0 \). This means that the electric field strength is proportional to the distance \( \gamma_0 \) from the origin, with \( A \) being a constant. 2. **Using Gauss's Law**: According to Gauss's Law, the electric flux \( \Phi_E \) through a closed surface is equal to the charge \( Q \) enclosed by that surface divided by the permittivity of free space \( \epsilon_0 \): \[ \Phi_E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0} \] 3. **Calculating the Electric Flux**: The electric flux through a spherical surface of radius \( \gamma_0 \) is given by: \[ \Phi_E = E \cdot A \] where \( A \) is the surface area of the sphere. The surface area \( A \) of a sphere is given by \( 4\pi r^2 \). Therefore, for our sphere of radius \( \gamma_0 \): \[ A = 4\pi (\gamma_0)^2 \] Thus, the electric flux becomes: \[ \Phi_E = E \cdot 4\pi (\gamma_0)^2 = (A \gamma_0) \cdot 4\pi (\gamma_0)^2 = 4\pi A \gamma_0^3 \] 4. **Relating Electric Flux to Charge**: From Gauss's Law, we have: \[ \Phi_E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0} \] Setting the two expressions for electric flux equal gives: \[ 4\pi A \gamma_0^3 = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0} \] 5. **Solving for Charge \( Q \)**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( Q \): \[ Q = 4\pi A \gamma_0^3 \epsilon_0 \] 6. **Identifying the Correct Option**: Now we can compare this expression for \( Q \) with the options provided in the question. The expression can be rewritten as: \[ Q = 4\pi \epsilon_0 A \gamma_0^3 \] This matches with option 2, which states: \[ Q = 4\pi \epsilon_0 A \gamma_0^3 \] ### Conclusion: The charge contained in the sphere of radius \( \gamma_0 \) centered at the origin is: \[ Q = 4\pi \epsilon_0 A \gamma_0^3 \] Thus, the correct answer is **Option 2**.
