I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Griffiths did a terrible job of explaining how to get to this point and I really appreciate you.

Sir, It would be more helpful if u perform the integral part. That is the important part.

[abhishektiwari]

I had a question you took the potential at point that is right in the direction of the polarization what if there's an angle between the point where we take the potential and polarization won't we have to introduce another angle and then solve it?

[brendanlarson]

Very helpful, but the static gets to be annoying.

[sadiatahir]

Griffiths writes Cos theta in potential relation.Why?

[tonmoydeka]

griffiths is not understandable, , , its so direct

[Apotpan]

Greetings Sir, I think in V(r) you have abused the symbol θ' which isn't the same for Pcosθ and dθ'

[quantaali]

can you please tell me how to solve problem 4.10 where we have a non-uniform polarization. In the solution manual, they have used gausses law but you have said in @MauJo reply it cannot be used.

[arushsingh]

the integral part can be easily done if u take the whole denominator as some r. Then the numerator consists of its derivative.

[maujo]

Why does Gauss' law fail when using it in this problem?

[Ghanshyam-sharma]

for field due to uniformly polarized sphere using gauss law i failed terribly ! plz help
