Answer

The magnitude of the electric field is $~~\frac{Ze}{4\pi~\epsilon_0}~(\frac{1}{r^2}-\frac{r}{R^3})$

Work Step by Step

We can find the electric field: $E = \frac{dV}{dr}$ $E = \frac{Ze}{4\pi~\epsilon_0}~(-\frac{1}{r^2}+\frac{r}{R^3})$ When $0 \leq r \leq R,~~$ then $E \lt 0$ The magnitude of the electric field is $~~\frac{Ze}{4\pi~\epsilon_0}~(\frac{1}{r^2}-\frac{r}{R^3})$
