\noindent \textit{A uniformly charged dielectric gel having charge density $\rho_v = \rho_o$ and dielectric constant of $\epsilon_r = 2$ is enclosed inside a dielectric shell with dielectric constant of $\epsilon_r = 5$ as shown in the figure. The dielectric shell is surrounded by free space ($\epsilon_r = 1$). Determine E, $\Phi$, D, P in all regions.}

\noindent In this problem we can consider there to be 3 regions, (1)~$r < a$, (2)~$a \leq r < b$, and (3)~$r \geq b$. For finding the electric flux density Gauss's Law provides the most straight forward solution. Then, using the constitutive relation between electric flux density and electric field, $\vec{E}$ can be found. Thereafter $\vec{P}$ and $\Phi$ are directly related to $\vec{E}$.\\
