Question

Here, you have 2 uniformly charged spheres at fixed positions on the x-axis. They have a radius of a < d/2 and a general point 'P' on the axis between them. 

Sphere 1 is centred on the origin O and sphere 2 is centred at z = d > 2a. 

consider a point 'P' on the z-axis with a < z < d - a, as shown in the picture. Write expressions for the displacement vector rp1 from sphere 1 to 'P' and write expressions for the displacement vector rp2 from sphere 2 to 'P'.
