Within a spherical charge distribution of charge density $\rho(r)$,$N$ equipotential surfaces of potential $V_0, V_0 + \Delta V, V_0 + 2\Delta V, \dots, V_0 + N\Delta V$ (where $\Delta V > 0$) are drawn and have increasing radii $r_0, r_1, r_2, \dots, r_N$,respectively. If the difference in the radii of the surfaces is constant for all values of $V_0$ and $\Delta V$,then:

  • A
    $\rho(r) = \text{constant}$
  • B
    $\rho(r) \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$
  • C
    $\rho(r) \propto \frac{1}{r}$
  • D
    $\rho(r) \propto r$
