A sphere of charge of radius RR carries a positive charge whose volume charge density depends only on the distance rr from the ball's centre as ρ=ρ0(1−rR)\rho=\rho_0\left(1-\frac{r}{R}\right), where ρ0\rho_0 is a constant. Assume ϵ\epsilon as the permittivity of space. The magnitude of electric field as a function of the distance rr inside the sphere is given by a. E=ρ0ϵ[r3−r24R]E = \frac{\rho_0}{\epsilon} \left[ \frac{r}{3} - \frac{r^2}{4R} \right] b. E=ρ0ϵ[r4−r23R]E = \frac{\rho_0}{\epsilon} \left[ \frac{r}{4} - \frac{r^2}{3R} \right] c. E=ρ0ϵ[r3+r24R]E = \frac{\rho_0}{\epsilon} \left[ \frac{r}{3} + \frac{r^2}{4R} \right] d. E=ρ0ϵ[r4+r23R]E = \frac{\rho_0}{\epsilon} \left[ \frac{r}{4} + \frac{r^2}{3R} \right]
