Physics

A metal sphere of radius a has a uniform (free) chargedensity σf on its surface. The permittivity of thedielectric region surrounding the sphere varies as , wherer is the radial coordinate.

  1. (1 pts) Determine the polarization P and electric fieldintensity E inside the sphere.
  2. (3 pts) Determine the polarization P and electric fieldintensity E in the dielectric.
  3. (5 pts) Calculate all bound charge densities, ρb andσb. Is the dielectric homogeneous?
  4. (1 pts) Test whether the electric field intensity E in thedielectric is conservative.
