Finding Potential Inside a Conducting Sphere

[Void123]

Homework Statement

If I wanted to find the potential inside a sphere, would I be looking for the general solution (in terms of Bessel's expression) for the helmholtz equation, in spherical polar coordinates?

Also, does a 'conducting' sphere imply that there is no potential outside the sphere?

Can no one verify this for me? Have I been too ambiguous?

It's not really a math problem is it? Try physics.

Well, it is a topic addressed in the mathematical literature. But I will try your suggestion anyways. Thanks.
