For a point source Ze and the Fourier transform convention ρ(q)=∫e−iq⋅rρ(r)d3r, self-consistent screening gives ρind​(q)=Ze[ϵ(q)−1−1]. Angular inversion yields ρind​(r)=−(Ze/r)∫0∞​g(q)sin(qr)dq. The factor 1/(2π2) includes the inverse-transform normalization and spherical angular integral. Perfect long-wavelength screening implies total induced charge −Ze.
