A conducting sphere of radius a has a total charge Q on it. A charge q is brought at a distance d from the center of the sphere (d > a). Using the method of images:
(a) Find the electric potential V (r, θ) in the region r >
a.
(b) Find the surface charge density on the surface of the
sphere.
(c) Find the force on the charge q.
Homework Answers
Whan we find out electric
potential at distance r , we see that this is same formula of
electric potential due to a point charge. So conducting sphere
works like a point charge.

A conducting sphere with radius R is centered at the origin. The sphere is grounded having an electric potential of zero. A point charge Q is brought toward the sphere along the z- axis and is placed at the point ะ-8. As the point charge approaches the sphere mobile charge is drawn from the ground into the sphere. This induced charge arranges itself over the surface of the sphere, not in a uniform way, but rather in such a way...
