    Simple Electrostatic problem with conductor

    the distribution of charges on the surface of shell in the middle... Hi Doc Al, My question is what will be the distribution of charges on the surface of the shell in between. Let us say a point positive charge Q1 at the center. And outside concentric insulating shell has a postive...

    Simple Electrostatic problem with conductor

    Hi Friends, I was thinking of having a either a point charge or some amount of charge at the center(let us say positive charge) and having a hollow concentric sphere( a conductor) around it. Now, there will be induced charge on the inside of hollow sphere and accordingly opposite charge...

    Outside the capacitor plates E is zero how potenital the same

    hi, We see theoretical discussion of Electric field inside the charged capacitor is confined in the space between the plates and E.d = potential difference between plates. Considering the battery terminal(let us say positive terminal), wire and left plate or top plate, being in the same...

    Can Metal Plate Connected to +ve Battery Terminal Get Charged?

    Hi, We know that when we connect the two parallel plates to a battery it will hold a +ve charge on the plate connected to positive terminal and -ve charge on the other plate. If we only connect one plate to the positive terminal, can it be charged? Isn't the positive terminal is at a...

    Calculating Electric Field Outside a Spherical Conductor

    Hi, When we calculate electric field due to a charged spherical conductor at a point outside the conductor, by Gauss's law, it is equal to the electric field due to a point charge at the center of sphere, with net charge on the sphere. We can also calculate this electric field strength...
