Question:

(a) Place a perfectly conducting sphere with radius a in a uniform electric field Eand let an origin centered electric dipole field represent the field produced by the sphere. Use this information to deduce that p = 4πϵ0a3Eis the dipole moment induced in the sphere.
(b) Place the sphere in a uniform magnetic field Band let an origin-centered magnetic dipole field represent the field produced by the sphere. Use this information to deduce that m = −(2πa3/μ0)B0 is the dipole moment induced in the sphere.
(c) Let θ be the angle between the incident wave vector kand the scattered wave vector k. If ka
