    Charge is distributed within a sphere of radius R with a volume charge density \[\rho (r)=\frac{A}{{{r}^{2}}}{{e}^{-2r/a}},\]where A and a are constants. If Q is the total charge of this charge distribution, the radius R is:

    A) \[a\log \left( 1-\frac{Q}{2\pi aA} \right)\]

    B)                    \[\frac{a}{2}\log \left( \frac{1}{1-\frac{Q}{2\pi aA}} \right)\]

    C) \[\frac{a}{2}\log \left( \frac{1}{1+\frac{Q}{2\pi aA}} \right)\]

    D) \[\frac{a}{2}\log \left( 1-\frac{1}{2\pi aA} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[Q=\int{\rho 4\pi {{r}^{2}}dr}\]\[=\int\limits_{0}^{R}{\left( \frac{A}{{{r}^{2}}}{{e}^{\frac{-\,2r}{a}}} \right)}\,(4\pi {{r}^{2}})dr\]\[=4\pi A\frac{a}{2}\left( 1-{{e}^{\frac{-\,2R}{a}}} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[R=\frac{-\,a}{2}\log \,\left( 1-\frac{Q}{2\pi Aa} \right).\]
