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 and -2q located at A(2 m, 0, 0) and B(8 m, 0, 0) respectively, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have: - A spherical surface of radius \( R = 4 \) m centered at the origin (0, 0, 0). - A positive point charge \( +q \) located at point A(2 m, 0, 0). - A negative point charge \( -2q \) located at point B(8 m, 0, 0). ...
