Problem 3.8
(a) Using the law of cosines, show that Eq. 3.17 can be written as follows:
1
4π€o
V(r, 0) =
9
r²+ a²-2ra cos 0
9
R2 + (ra/R)2- 2ra cos 0
(3.19)
where r and are the usual spherical polar coordinates, with the z axis along the
line through q. In this form, it is obvious that V = 0 on the sphere, r = R.
(b) Find the induced surface charge on the sphere, as a function of 0. Integrate this
to get the total induced charge. (What should it be?)
(c) Calculate the energy of this configuration.
