2. Method of images. A charge Q is placed at d = dź. (a) What charge q placed at position a = (R²/d)ż, with R<d, will ensure that the potential due to both charges is zero on the spherical surface r = R? (b) Explain how this result can be used to find the potential for a charge placed outside a grounded conducting sphere. (c) Show that the electric field at the outer surface of the conductor is normal to the surface.
