Furthermore, spherical charge distributions (such as charge on a metal sphere) create external electric fields exactly like a point charge. The electric potential due to a point charge is, thus, a case we need to consider.

This section will summarize the electric potentials that result from some common geometries of charge distribution, including a finite line, ring, disk, and infinite line.
