- A positive charge is evenly distributed on the surface of a metal sphere centered at the origin of the coordinate system. The positive charge produces an electric field that points outwardly in the radial direction. A positive test charge is fixed at a distance R₁ from the center of the coordinate system, far from the surface of the sphere. The electric potential at R₁ is 10V.
