Question

HA 5.1 The electrostatic potential ? of a hollow sphere with finite thickness.

Consider a hollow sphere with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2. In the region between R1and R2 consider a charge distribution with volume density ? = ?0R2/r (cf. Fig. HA5.1).

1) Calculate E? by means of Gauss’ theorem at any point in space (no need to show any symmetry argument or canonical curve).

2) Calculate ? at any point in space from E? found in 1). Hint: Start from outside the sphere and use regular condition at infinity for ?.

Explanation / Answer

I can understand the question but it will be better if you give me the picture HA5.1

No picture attached as mentioned in the question

I will update the answer as soon as you update the picture
