Hi everyone,
I have a uniform electric field in which I place an object. I have read that the electric potential inside my object, [tex]\Phi_{in}[/tex], and the one on the outside, [tex]\Phi_{out}[/tex] must be equal at the boundary.
(ie. [tex]\Phi_{in}[/tex]=[tex]\Phi_{out}[/tex] on the boundary)
I don't understand why this is so. Can anyone shed some light.
Thanks in advance.
