Conducting sphere in a uniform electric field

A conducting sphere is placed into a uniform electric field. What is the electric field that results, and what is the induced charge distribution on the sphere? In this video, I address these questions using the uniqueness theorem. About me: I studied Physics at the University of Cambridge, then stayed on to get a PhD in Astronomy. During my PhD, I also spent four years teaching Physics undergraduates at the university. Now, I'm working as a private tutor, teaching Physics & Maths up to A Level standard.
