MCQ
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
    $a\,\log \,\left( {1 - \frac{Q}{{2\pi aA}}} \right)$
  • $\frac{a}{2}\,\log \,\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{Q}{{2\pi aA}}}}} \right)$
  • C
    $a\,\log \,\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{Q}{{2\pi aA}}}}} \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{a}{2}\,\log \left( {1 - \frac{1}{{2\pi aA}}} \right)\,$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{a}{2}\,\log \,\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{Q}{{2\pi aA}}}}} \right)$
b
$Q = \int \rho  4\pi {r^2}dr = \int_0^R {\left( {\frac{A}{{{r^2}}}{e^{ - \frac{{2r}}{a}}}} \right)} \left( {4\pi {r^2}} \right)dr$

$ = 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)$

An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Interestingly, assuming the vessel has thin walls and is always pressurized to near its bursting point, the amount of gas the vessel can contain, $n$ (measured in moles), does not depend on the radius $r$ of the vessel : instead it depends only on $V_m$ (measured in $m^3$) the temperature $T$ (mensured in $K$). the ideal gas constant $R$ (measured in $J/(K\ mol$ )), and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma $ (measured in $N/m^2$ ) . Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters?
