How to check units?
I've got: $Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}$
how to check the units?
I start with $\left[\frac{\text V}{\text m} \, \text m^2\right]$, tried replacing $[ \text V ]$ with $\left[ \frac{\text J}{\text C} \right]$, but ...

Finding the electric field on a point (x,y,z) using Coulomb's Law
Using Gauss' Law, the answer is $$\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon R^2}.$$
However if I were to do the integration using Coulomb's Law, I get
$$ \int_0^{2\pi} \int_{0}^{\pi}\int_r^a \frac{\rho \sin\theta dR ...
