Answer by Superfast Jellyfish for Gauss law - charge inside a conductor

Metals have access to a sea of free electrons. Under equilibrium condition the net movement of the electrons inside the metal is zero. And this is reflected in the fact that metals have no field inside...

Answer by Physiker for Gauss law - charge inside a conductor

When we say that the net electric field inside a conductor is zero, what we mean precisely is that it is zero inside the meat of the conductor. When you put the point charge inside, the electric field...

Answer by Nick Decroos for Gauss law - charge inside a conductor

The electric field inside a conductor is zero in a static situation. Static means, when the charges are in rest. When there's an electric field inside a conductor, the free electrons will move until...

Gauss law - charge inside a conductor

If there is a point charge inside a shell conductor for example, making a Gaussian surface around the point charge will tell me there is a non-zero flux, meaning non-zero electric field inside, but how...
