Spherical conductivity inclusion

{title2=$\beta=3a_0(a_1-a_0)/(a_1+2a_0)$}
A sphere of conductivity $a_1$ in a host $a_0$ under a uniform incident gradient $E$ has interior gradient $3a_0E/(a_1+2a_0)$. Outside a sphere of radius $R$, its potential correction is $-R^3(a_1-a_0)(E\cdot x)/[(a_1+2a_0)|x|^3]$. Its polarization is $\beta E$ inside and zero outside. Temperature and normal-flux continuity determine these coefficients.
