Here is a question I have been pondering on for a while and got rather stuck, could anyone help out?
'A charge is diestributed uniformley with density [tex]\sigma[/tex] over the surface of a hollow conducting sphere of radius a. Show by direct integration that the potential at any point inside it is a[tex]\sigma[/tex] / [tex]\epsilon[/tex]0 and that this is the potential of the sphere itself'
plus could anyone give me a really good defintion (mathmatcially and in words) for potential, I havn't really grasped it,
many thanks
