[SOLVED] Griffiths Problem 3.28
Please stop reading unless you have Griffiths E and M book.
In this problem, I found that the approximation agrees with the exact potential. I am not sure what to conclude about higher multipoles. Are they all identically zero or do they all cancel? Is there something about this charge distribution that makes that happen? Could I have predicted that without calculating it?
