The document solves for the total charge inside a spherical volume with a uniform charge density p. It uses Gauss's law to determine that the electric field E inside the sphere is equal to p*r/(epsilon_0*3), where r is the radial distance from the center. It then calculates that the total charge inside the sphere is - (4/3) pi * R1^3 * p, where R1 is the radius of the sphere.
