In Griffith's Electrodynamics, Chapter 2, Example 7, the calculation of electric potential due to a spherical shell raises questions about the signs used in the integration process. The electric field (E) is directed radially outward, while the differential displacement (dr) is inward when moving towards the sphere, leading to confusion over the sign convention. It is clarified that dr points in the direction of increasing radius, and the negative sign arises from the limits of integration when calculating potential from infinity to a finite point. The integration process correctly accounts for the direction of dr, ensuring that the final potential value is positive despite the negative integration. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes the importance of adhering to integration rules and understanding the scalar nature of potential.
