1 Fields and Conductors Actually make sense

2 Electrostatic Equilibrium
Requires no field inside a conductor. Unbalanced charges at conductor’s surface. External field perpendicular to conductor surface

3 Internal charge +q

4 Internal charge +q

5 Hollow conductor +q

6 Hollow conductor Inside: field from point charge +q +q –q
Between: zero field Outside: field from point charge +q

7 Electric Flux FE Conceptually, the number of electric field lines passing through a surface E FE = EA A = area of the surface

8 Electric Flux FE Previous formula only works when field is normal to the surface E FE = 0

9 Electric Flux FE E q Area in profile is A cos q
q = angle of E field from surface normal FE = EA cos q
