The nuclear charge (Ze) is non-uniformly distributed within a nucleus of radius R. The charge density $$\rho(r)$$ [charge per unit volume] is dependent only on the radical distance r from the centre of the nucleus as shown in figure. The electric field is only along the radial direction.

The nuclear charge (Ze) is non-uniformly distributed within a nucleus of radius R. The charge density $$\rho(r)$$ [charge per unit volume] is dependent only on the radical distance r from the centre of the nucleus as shown in figure. The electric field is only along the radial direction.

The electric field within the nucleus is generally observed to be linearly dependent on r. This implies
$$a = 0$$
$$a = {R \over 2}$$
$$a = R$$
$$a = {{2R} \over 3}$$

Explanation

The electric field inside a uniformly charged sphere is proportional to r. The volume charge density inside a uniformly charged sphere is constant and hence a = R.
