Q. A system consists of a uniformly charged sphere of radius $R$ and a surrounding medium filled by a charge with the volume density $\rho=\frac{\alpha}{r}$, where $\alpha$ is a positive constant and $r$ is the distance from the centre of the sphere. Find the charge of the sphere for which the electric field intensity $E$ outside the sphere is independent of $R$.
