Chapter 2. ElectrostaticsMetallic Conductors: Example Problem

• Consider a spherical conducting shell.

• • Suppose we place a point charge q at the center of a neutral spherical conducting shell. It will attract negative charge to the inner surface of the conductor. How much induced charge will accumulate here?
  • Find E and V as function of r in the three regions r < a, a < r < b, and r > b.
