Thanks willem2 for answering my question. I apologize for creating the confusion by referring to induced charge. I'll try to break the issue into readable points. 1- The author defines capacitance as the proportionality constant relating the potential at surface of the conductor relative to...

Thanks for your reply and patience. I understand what Gauss's law is, my question is when there is charge on a grounded conductor, the charge will emanate electric field which will give a rise to a non zero potential when a line integral is taken from infinity to the surface of that charge...

How does the existence of charge on the surface of a grounded conductor don't contradict Gauss's Law ?

Hello, I came across this topic while reading Principles of Electrodynamics which can be read from this link starting at page 54. Looking at page 56, my question is how could there be induced charge on a grounded conductor ? what happens then to the equation Q = C * V, where Q is charge...

Homework Statement The area element of a sphere in spherical coordinates is given as following dA = r^2 \sin(\phi)\; d \theta \; d \phi using the notation in the following figure: However, while going through some E&M books I ran into the following notation Surface \; Area = r^2 \...
