Problem
A neutral conducting sphere is placed in a uniform external electric field pointing upward. Consider three points on its surface: P at the top, Q at the equator on the east side, and R at the bottom. Rank the magnitudes of the induced surface charge densities at P, Q, and R (greatest to least) and briefly justify your ranking.
