Aarh I see. I am actually confusing my self by avoiding the ' symbol. Thanks I will try again.

So z is the distance from the origin to the point where I want to know the potential. The shown figure above is made for a shell, so the small rectangle should be a small volume element. And the angle \theta' is what I call \theta

Oh there is actually missing a r^2 . Due to Griffiths book the volume element is given by the formula \mathrm{d} \tau = r^2 \sin(\theta) \ \mathrm{d}\theta \ \mathrm{d}\phi \ \mathrm{d}r .

Hello Guys! This is my first post so bear with me. I am currently studying the basics of electrostatics using the textbook "Introduction to electrodynamics 3 edt. - David J. Griffiths". My problem comes when i try to solve problem 2.21. Find the potential V inside and outside a uniformly...
