In my book it gives the relationship between voltage and electric field as Vb-Va= -[itex]\int _a^{b}[/itex] E dl which for a positively charged conducting sphere Q simplifies to [itex]\frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (\frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{a})[/itex] my questions is that shouldn't it be [itex]\frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b})[/itex]? The integral turns into [itex]\int _b^{a}[/itex] what am I missing here?
