An electrostatic field in a region is radially outward with magnitude $E = \alpha r$,where $\alpha$ is a constant and $r$ is the radial distance. The charge contained in a sphere of radius $R$ in this region (centered at the origin) is:

  • A
    $4\pi \varepsilon_0 \alpha R^3$
  • B
    $\pi \varepsilon_0 \alpha R^3$
  • C
    $2\pi \varepsilon_0 \alpha R^3$
  • D
    $8\pi \varepsilon_0 \alpha R^3$
