The electrostatic potential inside a charged spherical ball is given by $\phi = ar^2 + b$,where $r$ is the distance from the centre and $a, b$ are constants. Then the charge density inside the ball is:

  • A
    $-24\pi a\varepsilon_0 r$
  • B
    $-6a\varepsilon_0 r$
  • C
    $-24\pi a\varepsilon_0$
  • D
    $-6a\varepsilon_0$
