### Electric Potential and Field due to a Conducting Sphere in an External Electric FieldWhen an uncharged conducting sphere of radius \( a \) is placed at the origin of an xyz coordinate system that lies in an initially uniform electric field \(\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{k}\), the resulting electric potential is given by:\[ V(x, y, z) = V_0 \]for the points inside the sphere, and\[ V(x, y, z) = V_0 - E_0 z + \frac{E_0 a^3 z}{(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)^{3/2}} \]for points outside the sphere, where \( V_0 \) is the (constant) electric potential on the conductor.### ObjectiveUse the above equations to determine the \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) components of the resulting electric field in the following regions. Use the following notations as necessary: \( x \), \( y \), \( z \), \( a \), and \( E_0 \).**(a) Inside the Sphere**\[ E_x = \] (Input Field)\[ E_y = \] (Input Field)\[ E_z = \] (Input Field)**(b) Outside the Sphere**\[ E_x = \] (Input Field)\[ E_y = \] (Input Field)\[ E_z = \] (Input Field)### GuidanceFor further assistance, please refer to additional resources by clicking on the "Need Help?

When an uncharged conducting sphere of radius a is placed at the origin of an xyz coordinate system that lies in an initially uniform electric fieldE = E, k, the resulting electric potential is V (x,y,z) = Vo for the points inside the sphere and V (x,y,z) = Vo – Egz + Ega³z (x² + y² + z²)3/2 for points outside the sphere, where V is the (constant) electric potential on the conductor. Use this equation to determine the x, y, and z components of the resulting electric field in the following regions. (Use the following as necessary: X, y, z, a, and Eo:)
