To find the maximum potential at the surface of a metal sphere given the electric field strength, we can use the relationship between electric field (E) and electric potential (V). The formula that relates electric field to potential difference is: \[ E = -\frac{dV}{dr} \] For a uniformly charged sphere, the electric field outside the sphere is given by: \[ E = \frac{V}{r} \] ...
