Homework Statement


Find the electrical potential inside a spherical shell carrying a
total charge Q by integrating over the surface.

Homework Equations


E=k q/r^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I know the answer is zero from Gauss's law, but I don't know how to do the integration to get it.

Do you want to use gauss' law or coulombs law? What integration are you asking about?
This also might be more of a math problem.
