This one is tougher! A sphere of radius r has charge q.
(a) What is the infinitesimal increase in clectric potential energy dU if an infinitesimal
amount of charge dq is brought to infinity to the surface of the sphere?
(b) An uncharged sphere can acquire a total charge Q by the transfer of charge dq
over and over and over. Use your answer to part a to find an cxpression for the
potential energy of a uniformly-charged sphere of radius R with total charge Q.
