problem, use a Gaussian surface in the form of a sphere that is concentric with the sphere of charge and passes through the point where the electric field is to be found. The field is uniform on the surface, so 2 4 EdA rE ⋅= π ³ G G v , where r is the radius of the Gaussian surface. For r < a , the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface is q 1 ( r / a ) 3 . Gauss’ law yields 3 2 11 3 00 4 . 4 qq r r E aa π επ ε §· = ¡ = ¨¸¨¸ ©¹ (a) For r = 0, the above equation implies E = 0.

Thus, for r = 2.30 a , we have
