Question

What is the energy required to bring a point charge ? from very far to a distance ? from the center of an insulating sphere of radius ? with charge ?, assuming uniform charge density and d > R? What if the sphere is replaced with a hollow spherical conductor of charge -Q and radius R, what would the energy required be then? Hint: you don’t have to re-derive the potential due to a charged sphere again.
