Question 05/01
DIPOLE IN A SHELL
A dipole of size p has been placed inside a
conducting grounded spherical shell or radius R at
a distance a from the center of the shell (a < R).
The dipole points in radial direction.
(The dimensions of the dipole are small enough, so it can be treated as
an ideal dipole.) Find the electrical potential inside the shell.
This question appeared in an Analytical Electromagnetism exam given at
Tel Aviv University by Y. Kantor in 2001.
