The potential (in volts) of a charge distribution is given by V (z)=30-5 z^2 for |z| ≤ 1 m; V (z)=35-10|z| for |z| ≥ 1 m. V (z) does not depend on x…
The potential (in volts) of a charge distribution is given by
$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{V}(z)=30-5 z^2 \text { for }|z| \leqslant 1 \mathrm{~m} \\
& \mathrm{~V}(z)=35-10|z| \text { for }|z| \geqslant 1 \mathrm{~m} .
\end{aligned}
$$
$\displaystyle \mathrm{V}(z)$ does not depend on $\displaystyle x$ and $\displaystyle y$. If this potential is generated by a constant charge per unit volume $\displaystyle \rho_0$ (in units of $\displaystyle \epsilon_0$ ) which is spread over a certain region, then choose the correct statement.
Official answer
(1)
$\displaystyle \rho_0=10 \epsilon_0$ for $\displaystyle |z| \leqslant 1 \mathrm{~m}$ and $\displaystyle \rho_0=0$ elsewhere
