But here's my idea (which is very similar to your suggestion and seems to give the right answer) Consider the following complementary problems: a spherical shell of radius $a$ and charge density $\sigma$ (no hole), and a small circular disc of radius $b$ and charge density $-\sigma$, then evaluate the electric fields individually. What happens if the disk is placed on the shell? | |
