There is a surface charge ρS=2.9 [nC/m2] in the plane 6*x+10*y+9*z+-4=0. If Va=27 at point A(-1,9,1) find the Scalar Potential Vb [V] at point B(-4,6,3
When an uncharged conducting sphere of radius a is placed
at the origin of an xyz coordinate system that lies in an
initially uniform electric field É = E,k, the resulting elec-
tric potential is V(x, y, 2) = V, for points inside the sphere
and

tric potential on the conductor. Use this equation to deter-
mine the x, y, and z components of the resulting electric
field (a) inside the sphere and (b) outside the sphere.
