The correct Answer is:
To determine the electric field \(\vec{E}\) due to a uniformly charged sphere of radius \(R\) as a function of distance from its center, we can analyze the situation in two distinct regions: inside the sphere (for \(r < R\)) and outside the sphere (for \(r \geq R\)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charge Distribution**: - Consider a uniformly charged sphere with total charge \(Q\) and radius \(R\). 2. **Electric Field Inside the Sphere (\(r < R\))**: - According to Gauss's Law, the electric field inside a uniformly charged sphere is zero. This is because any Gaussian surface inside the sphere encloses no charge. - Therefore, for \(r < R\): \[ E = 0 \] 3. **Electric Field Outside the Sphere (\(r \geq R\))**: - For points outside the sphere, we can treat the entire charge \(Q\) as if it were concentrated at the center of the sphere. - Using Gauss's Law, the electric field at a distance \(r\) from the center (where \(r \geq R\)) is given by: \[ E = \frac{kQ}{r^2} \] - Here, \(k\) is Coulomb's constant. 4. **Summary of the Electric Field**: - The electric field \(\vec{E}\) as a function of distance \(r\) from the center of the uniformly charged sphere can be summarized as: \[ E(r) = \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if } r < R \\ \frac{kQ}{r^2} & \text{if } r \geq R \end{cases} \] ### Final Answer: The electric field \(\vec{E}\) due to a uniformly charged sphere of radius \(R\) is: \[ E(r) = \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if } r < R \\ \frac{kQ}{r^2} & \text{if } r \geq R \end{cases} \]
