Question

The upper hemisphere of a thin spherical shell of radius R is held at potential $V_0$, while the lower hemisphere (separated from the upper hemisphere by a thin insulating layer) is grounded. Calculate $V(\vec{r})$ outside the shell up to (and including) terms in $P_6(\cos\theta)$, assuming $V(\vec{r} = \infty) = 0$.
