Electric Flux & Gauss's Law

In a uniformly charged sphere of total charge $Q$ and radius $R,$ the electric field $E$ is plotted as a function of distance from the center. The graph which would correspond to the above will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Uniformly charged (non-conducting) sphere: inside $E \propto r$ , outside $E \propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}$ .
Graph rises linearly to a peak at $R$ , then falls as $\dfrac{1}{r^2}$ .
So the answer is (c).
