Consider a, practically,infinite metallic conductor in which inside there is a spherical cavity with radial R. At the paries there is a surface allocation of electric brunt with a surface density: σ(θ)=σοcosθ .
θ: polar angle at teh system of spherical coordinates with the center at the center of cavity.
Find the electric field at each point of the cavity.

Thanks in advance!

Inside the conductor, the electric field it's zero.
I think inside the cavity the field is zero
And at the surface of the cavity how can I work?

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
