Solution Preview

We know that the Green's function for a sphere with Dirichlet's boundary conditiosn is
(1.1)
If the angle between and r is then it can be written as:
(1.2)
On the surface of the sphere:

(1.3)

The potential is given by:
(1.4)
Since there is no excess free charge we have
Since this is Green's function with ...
