The energy density, or energy per unit volume,, of theelectrostatic fieldof a continuous charge distribution is:
Electric field at a distance r from the sphere is
Now for finding electrostatic energy we need to integrate energy density over the whole space from R to infinity to get the answer using the E above mentioned.
