thereThere is this problem in section 3.3, of Jackson's classical electrodynamics, which relates to solving Boundary- Value Problems with Azimuthal Symmetry, we have a Conducting sphere with hemispheres at different potentials, I've found the inside and outside potentials

$\phi(r,\theta)$=V \begin{cases}\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{r}{a}\right) P_{1}(\cos \theta)-\frac{7}{8}\left(\frac{r}{a}\right)^{3} P_{3}(\cos \theta)+\frac{11}{16}\left(\frac{r}{a}\right)^{5} P_{5}(\cos \theta) \cdots, & \text { for } r<a \\ \frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{a}{r}\right)^{2} P_{1}(\cos \theta)-\frac{7}{8}\left(\frac{a}{r}\right)^{4} P_{3}(\cos \theta)+\frac{11}{16}\left(\frac{a}{r}\right)^{6} P_{5}(\cos \theta) \cdots, & \text { for } r>a\end{cases}

And I want to find the surface charge density on the sphere, I don't have any idea on how to approach it.

yourYour help will be very much appreciated.
