To show that every point on the spherical surface of radius 4 m centered at the origin is at zero potential due to the point charges +q at A(2 m, 0, 0) and -2q at B(8 m, 0, 0), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the charges and the spherical surface - The charge +q is located at point A(2, 0, 0). - The charge -2q is located at point B(8, 0, 0). - The spherical surface is centered at the origin (0, 0, 0) with a radius of 4 m. ### Step 2: Define a point P on the spherical surface ...
