A system consists of a ball of radius R carrying a spherically symmetric charge and the surrounding space filled with a charge of volume density ρ = α/r, where α is a constant, r is the distance from the centre of the ball. Find the ball's charge at which the magnitude of the electric field strength vector is independent of r outside the ball. How high is this strength? The permittivities of the ball and the surrounding space are assumed to be equal to unity.

Solution:
A system consists of a ball of radius R carrying a spherically symmetric charge
