Zero field, 30 volts
- A charged conducting shell has zero electric field inside its metal, yet the metal sits at 30 V relative to infinity.
- GRE electrostatics tests vector superposition 叠加, flux, and induced charges 感应电荷 on conductors.
Superpose vectors, not magnitudes
- $\mathbf E = \sum \dfrac{Q_i(\mathbf r - \mathbf r_i)}{4\pi\varepsilon_0|\mathbf r - \mathbf r_i|^3}$. Forces of 3 N right and 4 N up combine to 5 N, not 7 N.
- Potential is a scalar sum $V = \sum \dfrac{Q_i}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r_i}$ — easier, but $V = 0$ does not mean $\mathbf E = 0$.
Adding the magnitudes of perpendicular forces (3 N + 4 N = 7 N) is the classic slip; resolve into components.
Two perpendicular fields of 6 N/C and 8 N/C act at a point. Resultant magnitude in N/C?

Perpendicular fields add as vectors: $\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = 10$ N/C.
Flux through an open plane
- Gauss's law is for closed surfaces. A point charge beside an infinite plane sends half its flux through it: $\Phi = \dfrac{q}{2\varepsilon_0}$, independent of distance.
The flux of a point charge $q$ through an infinite plane near it is

The plane subtends half the full solid angle.
Conductors and induced charge
- In equilibrium 平衡, $\mathbf E = 0$ inside the metal and the whole conductor is at one potential.
- Charge $Q$ at the centre of a shell (radii $a < b$, net charge $q$): inner surface $-Q$, outer surface $q + Q$, outside field as for $Q + q$ at the centre.
$Q = +2$ nC, $q = -1$ nC, $b = 0.30$ m. Inner surface $-2$ nC, outer $+1$ nC. Metal potential $= \dfrac{9\times10^9 \times 1\times10^{-9}}{0.30} = 30$ V; field in the metal 0.
$Q = +3$ nC at the centre, shell net charge $+1$ nC, outer radius 0.20 m. Potential of the metal in V?

$9\times10^9 \times 4\times10^{-9}/0.2$.
Charge on the inner surface of that shell, in nC?

Cancels the enclosed +3 nC.
The potential inside a charged conductor is constant, but need not be zero.

True. Zero field inside means no potential difference between points, so the potential is the same everywhere inside, here 30 V, not necessarily zero.
Three regions
- Cavity ($r < a$): $E = \dfrac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0r^2}$. Metal: $E = 0$. Outside ($r > b$): $E = \dfrac{Q + q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0r^2}$.
- $V$ is continuous everywhere; $E$ jumps at each charged surface. An off-centre charge still induces $-Q$ inside, but the cavity field is no longer radial.
Which field?
Use the right enclosed charge in each region of a shell.
Recap
- Add field vectors by components; potentials add as scalars.
- Half the flux of a point charge passes through an infinite plane.
- Conductor: $E = 0$ inside, constant (not zero) potential; inner surface carries $-Q$.
- induced charge: Charge that gathers on a conductor’s surface because of nearby charges.
