Suppose we want to calculate the macroscopic electric field inside a solid dielectric
sphere of radius R
Outside of the region of this small imaginary sphere,
(electric dipoles are far enough away from the field point)
Define
(differential form)
(integral form)
Summary:
Example 4.4
A (very) long, straight conducting wire carries a uniform, free line electric
charge λ which is surrounded by rubber insulation out to radius, a. Find the
electric displacement D(r)

Example 4.5
A metal sphere of radius a carries
a charge Q, surrounding, out to radius
b, by linear dielectric material ε.
Find the potential at the center .
