Determine the equation for the electric field at the origin caused by a surface distribution with density Ps=cos(theta) located on the surface of a sphere at radius=2m. It would be wise for you to consider the symmetry of the problem, such that only the z-component is non-zero. the x and y components should cancel out (convince yourself of this)
