well i asked my teacher today and he said that would have to assume a non-conducting sphere, (was told by classmate that he said conducting ha). So he suggested the same thing as you to find the E-field due to a coin shape of charge. Which I have, and then assume the sphere is composed of...

Ok so it would only be a double integral and not a triple integral right? because it would just be the area and the volume would not be taken into account.

yeah pretty much ha

My teacher said the sphere is conducting. And yes that is word for word. He is very vague in all of his problem statements.

Problem statement: find th electric field of a sphere of radius R and charge Q outside the sphere. Do this using BOTH a gauss's law and coulomb integral. I have done the gaussian one, which was pretty easy. I just can't figure out the coulomb integral. No i have not used spherical...

Homework Statement Find the electric field of a sphere of radius R and charge Q outside sphere. Use only a Coulomb integral to do this. Homework Equations I know that I have to use a triple integral to find the E-field. I am just unsure of my whole setup really. The Attempt at a Solution...
