To find the electric field intensity at different positions in a non-conducting solid sphere with a volume charge density that varies as \(\rho = \rho_0 r\), where \(\rho_0\) is a constant and \(r\) is the distance from the center, we will use Gauss's law. We will consider two cases: (i) when \(r < R\) (inside the sphere) and (ii) when \(r \geq R\) (outside the sphere). ### Step-by-Step Solution: #### Case (i): \(r < R\) 1. **Identify the Charge Density**: The volume charge density is given as \(\rho = \rho_0 r\). ...
