The nuclear charge $(Ze)$ is non-uniformly distributed within a nucleus of radius $R$. The charge density $\rho(r)$ (charge per unit volume) is dependent only on the radial distance $r$ from the center of the nucleus as shown in the figure. The electric field is only along the radial direction.
$1.$ The electric field at $r=R$ is
$(A)$ independent of $a$
$(B)$ directly proportional to $a$
$(C)$ directly proportional to $a^2$
$(D)$ inversely proportional to $a$
