Project Proposal: Modeling of EM Fields for Spheres in Mathematica

For my project, I propose the modeling of electromagnetic fields for spheres. I will use Mathematica to start, and possibly attempt to use other software products as well, such as OriginLab or MatLab. I will begin with the simplest case of a hollow sphere with radius approaching zero, or a point charge. I will then model electric fields for conducting spheres of different radii. From there, I will attempt other cases as well, potentially including: concentric spheres, spherical dielectrics, and systems of multiple spheres. Additionally, I will attempt to model magnetic fields for currents traveling in a spherical conductor, and magnetic fields within and surrounding spherical dielectrics.

    Your title says that you will explore EM fields of spheres. Reading your abstract it seems that you are thinking of modeling electric fields of spherical objects. Is that correct?
