The volume of a sphere of radius \( a \) obtained by integrating the spherical volume element is

  • A.\( 4\pi a^3/3 \)
  • B.\( 4\pi a^2 \)
  • C.\( 2\pi a^3 \)
  • D.\( \pi a^3 \)

Answer: A

Integrating \( r^2 \, dr \) from zero to a gives \( a^3/3 \), the sine integral over theta gives two and the phi integral gives \( 2\pi \). The product is \( 4\pi a^3/3 \), which is the standard check on the volume element.
