SUMMARIZED THE PRINCIPLES WHICH APPLY TO CONDUCTORS IN ELECTROSTATIC FIELDS • The static electric field intensity inside a conductor is zero. • The static electric field at the surface of a conductor is everywhere directed normal to that surface. • The conductor surface is an equipotential surface.
EXAMPLE 15.1 • Let potential field V = 100(x2 - y2) and point P( 2, -1, 3) lies on a conductor-free space boundary. • Determine the profile of the conductor. • Determine the electric field intensity at point P. • Determine the surface charge at point P.
EXAMPLE 15.2 • A potential field is given as V = (100e-5x sin 3y cos 4z) V. Let point P(0.1, p/12, p/24) be located at a conductor-free space boundary. At point P, find the magnitude of: (i) V; (ii) E; (iii) En; (iv) Et; (v) rs. Answer: 37.1 V, 233 V/m, 233 V/m, 0, 2.06 nC/m2
