Default Check my work (electrodynamics)

I found an old exam by my professor. this is the question.





here is my solution using Spherical Harmonics









in case it's hard to read


Vin = Q/2pi * 1/(e1 +e2) *1/a

Vout = Q/2pi * 1/(e1 +e2) *1/r

Nobody's awake yet, Crosscountry, and sunday nights are always a bit slow. I'd suggest giving it another 18 hours or so.
