Exterior harmonic potential with no flux through a sphere

ID: exterior-harmonic-potential-with-no-flux-through-a-sphere

An axisymmetric harmonic potential outside a sphere of radius , with far field and zero radial derivative on the sphere, is
The regular spherical expansion in Legendre polynomials fixes all coefficients. A spatial constant remains arbitrary if only the far-field gradient is specified, and is fixed by prescribing the potential difference at infinity.
