    Graduate Lorentz force in different frames of reference

    Hi, I have been studying lorentz force . The book says force experienced by a charge in magnetic field is But velocity is a relative concept . In one frame of reference(inertial frame) I might observe the charge moving with some velocity and in the 2nd frame(inertial too) I might observe the...

    Graduate Charge distribution on an irregular conducting surface

    OK, So since the potential at every surface has to be the same and there is more surface nearer to a point in the notch so the charge density has to be less there in order to make the potential same as that of every point. Is that what you meant? (a rough approx. I mean)

    Graduate Charge distribution on an irregular conducting surface

    Is this low charge density at the notch due to great repulsion from nearby charges (i suppose) Or is there some other reason ?

    Graduate Charge distribution on an irregular conducting surface

    Sorry I could not understand what you meant by "hidden somewhere in a notch". please elaborate a bit.

    Graduate Charge distribution on an irregular conducting surface

    I am able to understand your explanation . But how can you say that this situation of 2 different sized spheres is equivalent to an irregular body which is just more curved at some points.

    Graduate Charge distribution on an irregular conducting surface

    I recently read that the charge density is less on surfaces with greater radius of curvature on the surface of a charged irregular conducting body . if anyone can provide a proof or explanation , please help!
