Lecture 6-2
Charges and fields of a conductor
• In electrostatic equilibrium, charges
inside a conductor do not move. Thus, E
= 0 everywhere in the interior of a
conductor.
• Since E = 0 inside, there are no net
charges anywhere in the interior. Net
charges can only be on the surface(s).

The electric field must be
perpendicular to the surface just
outside a conductor, since, otherwise,
there would be currents flowing along
the surface.
Lecture 6-3
Electrostatic Shielding (Continued)
If you move charge q in the cavity, the
exterior electric fields and the extreior
charge distribution are not affected.
q
Conducting shell electrostatically
shields its exterior from changes
on the inside.

If you now add charge Q’ to the
conductor and/or Q’’ on the outside
of the conductor, the interior
electric fields do not change.
Conducting shell electrostatically
shields its interior from changes
on the outside, too.

READING QUIZ 1
IN WHAT DIRECTION CAN YOU MOVE A TEST CHARGE RELATIVE
TO AN ELECTRIC FIELD SO THAT THE ELECTRIC POTENTIAL DOES
NOT CHANGE?
A| Move in the direction of the electric field lines.
B| Move opposite to the direction of the electric field lines.
C| Move from point A in the electric field to point B in
in the electric field along an arbitrary path.
D| Move relative to the electric field along a path which is
everywhere perpendicular to the electric field.

Electric Potential Energy of a Charge in Electric Field
• Coulomb force is conservative
=> Work done by the Coulomb
force is path independent.

Electric Potential
• U(r) of a test charge q0 in electric field generated by
other source charges is proportional to q0 .
• So U(r)/q0 is independent of q0, allowing us to introduce
electric potential V independent of q0.
