I am currently doing a past paper question for my electromagnetism exam and I can't seem to figure out this problem, it is probably quite simple but I can't see a solution
Consider a spherically symmetric charge distribution:
ρ(r) = ρ0(r/r0)-n for r>r0
ρ(r) = ρ0 for r≤r0
where ρ0, r0 and n are constants and r = |r|
i) For which values of n is the total charge Q finite? compute the total charge for these values
As above in the question
I have no idea how to start
