Conductor in Electrostatic
Equilibrium
In a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium there is no net motion
of charge

E=0 everywhere inside the conductor
Ein



Etot =0
Conductor slab in an external field E:
if E  0 free electrons would be
accelerated
These electrons would not be in
equilibrium
When the external field is applied, the
electrons redistribute until they
generate a field in the conductor that
exactly cancels the applied field.
Etot = E+Ein= 0

Conductors: charge on surface
only

Choose a gaussian surface inside (as close
to the surface as desired)
E=0

There is no net flux through the gaussian
surface (since E=0)

Any net charge must reside on the surface
(cannot be inside!)

E-Field Magnitude and Direction
E-field always  surface:




Parallel component of E would put force on
charges
Charges would accelerate
This is not equilibrium
Apply Gauss’s law at surface
