Calculate the potential V(r) for r>rb. (Hint: The net potential is the sum of the potentials due to the individual spheres.) Use ϵ0 as the permittivity of free space and express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables r, ra, rb, q, and any appropriate constants.

Answer:

The potential for r > rb is equal to zero.

Explanation:

For r > rb, the potential is:

[tex]V=\frac{Kq}{r}[/tex]

Then, the net potential is:

[tex]V_{(r)} =\frac{K(+\epsilon )}{r} +\frac{K(-\epsilon )}{r}[/tex]

[tex]K=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{o} }[/tex]

[tex]V_{(r)} =\frac{K(+\epsilon )}{r} -\frac{K(\epsilon )}{r}\\V_{(r)}=0[/tex]
