A system consists of a ball of radius caryying a sherically symmetrical charge and the surrounding space filled with a charge of volume density , where is a constant and is the distance from center of ball.The magnitude of the Electric Field where it is independent of is given by
Where are coprime positive integers and is permittivity in free space.

Infinitesimal charge:
d Q = ρ d V = r α 4 π r 2 d r = 4 π α r d r
Integrating gives the total charge out to radius r :
Q ( r ) = 2 π α r 2
Since the charge distribution has radial symmetry, we can use the Gauss Law:
E ( r ) = 4 π r 2 ϵ 0 Q ( r ) = 4 π r 2 ϵ 0 2 π r 2 α = 2 1 ϵ 0 α
