Graphical variation of electric field due to a uniformly charged insulating solid sphere of radius with distance from the centre is represented by:

Graphical variation of electric field due to a uniformly charged insulating solid sphere of radius with distance from the centre is represented by:

Dig




The electric field inside a solid insulated sphere is given by
for where is volume charge density.
Hence, the electric field varies linearly with the distance as
Now, the electric field for is given by
Thus, the graph starts decreasing as a power law graph as shown in the figure for the region .
Hence, this graph is the right option.
