see, it will depend on the position of 'x'.

case 1: if x < = R/2

E.4Πx2 = q/ε0

here, q=0.

so, potential (V=Ed) in this region = 0.

case 2 : if R/2 <x< R

q = find the charge containd 'within' the radius x.

then apply gauss law, find E.

then, V= Ex.

case 3 : if x> R

q= Q.

then similar steps as in case 2.

one doubt
is the sphere is conductor or a non conductor

if it is a conductor

then there will be electric field only x≥R

E4∩x2=Q/ε0

E=-dV/dx

if it is a non conductor

then i will go for sky
