Problem 35P
A point charge q is imbedded at the center of a sphere of linear dielectric material (with susceptibility χe and radius R). Find the electric field, the polarization, and the bound charge densities, ρb and σb. What is the total bound charge on the surface? Where is the compensating negative bound charge located?

Problem 35P
A point charge q is imbedded at the center of a sphere of linear dielectric material (with susceptibility χe and radius R). Find the electric field, the polarization, and the bound charge densities, ρb and σb. What is the total bound charge on the surface? Where is the compensating negative bound charge located?
ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 4
In this problem, we must first find the electric field, that is the polarization and the bound charge density.
