Maximum Charge Density Value for Zero Core Radius
Paragraph for Question Nos. 36 to 38
The nuclear charge is non-uniformly distributed within a nucleus of radius . The charge density [charge per unit volume] is dependent only on the radial distance from the centre of the nucleus as shown in figure. The electric field is only along the radial direction.

For , the value of (maximum value of as shown in the figure) is

Step-by-Step Solution
To find the maximum charge density when , we analyze the given charge density distribution .
From the figure, the variation of charge density with radial distance for is given by a straight line joining and :
For , the charge density simplifies to:
The total charge distributed within the nucleus of radius is obtained by integrating the charge over thin spherical shells of radius and thickness :
Substituting the expression for :
Evaluating the integral:
Solving for :
Thus, the correct option is B.
