Electric Field
Conductors
#No net motion of charge within
conductor
Non Conductors
#in non conductors there is no
movement of charge
#therefore always have
equilibrium

 Electric Field is zero
within conductor
 Any excess charge on an
isolated conductor must be
on its surface
# accumulates at points
where radius of curvature
is greatest

Use Gauss’
Theorem
Answer
Charge must be
between surface 1 and
surface 2
(why?)
Therefore must be on the
