Answer

$E = 4200~N/C$

Work Step by Step

We can find the charge enclosed within a sphere of radius $3.5~cm$: $q = \rho~V$ $q = \rho~\frac{4}{3}\pi~r^3$ $q = (3.2\times 10^{-6}~C/m^3)~(\frac{4}{3}\pi)~(0.035~m)^3$ $q = 5.747\times 10^{-10}~C$ We can find the magnitude of the electric field at $r = 3.5~cm$: $\epsilon~\Phi = q$ $\epsilon~E~4\pi~r^2 = q$ $E = \frac{q}{\epsilon~4\pi~r^2}$ $E = \frac{5.747\times 10^{-10}~C}{(8.854\times 10^{-12}~F/m)~(4\pi)~(0.035~m)^2}$ $E = 4200~N/C$
