There is a big sphere with charges distributed on the surface. N charges are distributed on a patch of the sphere (all the information of the charges such as their locations are known). Suppose the rest of the sphere has similar charge distribution as the patch, how to approximately calculate the equivalent point charge, dipole and quadruple of the charges on the rest of the spheres based on the charges on the patch? (the actual distribution of charges on the rest of the sphere is not needed, because I am only calculating the electric field somewhat far away).
Really appreciate it if anyone can help!
