Potential at ANY point on a spherical shell due to external point charge
Hi everyone
Here is another problem:
A point charge q is placed at a distance of r from the center of an uncharged conducting sphere of radius R (< r). Find the potential at any point on the sphere.
I know the answer is
[tex]\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}[/tex]
but I want to do it rigourously. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Vivek
