Q in the presence of
a point charge q.
Start with the grounded conducting sphere (with its charge q' distributed over
its surface). Then disconnect the ground wire and add to the sphere an amount of
charge (Q - q'). This brings the total charge on the sphere up to
The added charge (Q - q') will distribute
itself uniformly over the surface. Then

In the limit of y a, the force reduces to the usual Coulomb's law for two small
charged bodies. But close to the sphere the force is modified because of the
induced charge distribution on the surface of the sphere.
If the sphere is charged oppositely to q, or is uncharged, the force is attractive
at all distances.
Even if the charge

In the limit of Q q, the point of zero force (unstable equilibrium point) is very
close to the sphere, at

This example explains why an excess of charge on the surface does not leave the
surface because of mutual repulsion of the individual charges.
As soon as an element of charge is removed from the surface, the image force
tends to attract it back.

The 1st term (-E0z) is the potential of a uniform field. The 2nd is the potential due
to the induced surface-charge density or, equivalently, the image charges.

only odd powers of cos appear, as required by the symmetry of the problem.
For large values of x/a this expansion converges rapidly and so is a useful
representation for the potential.
It is easily verified that, for cos=1, this expression agrees with the expansion of
the expression for the potential on the axis.

If the rectangular box has potentials different from zero on all 6 sides, the
required solution for the potential inside the box can be obtained by a linear
superposition of six solutions, one for each side.
The problem of the solution of the Poisson equation, i.e., the potential inside the
box with a charge distribution inside, as well as prescribed boundary conditions
on the surface, requires the construction of the appropriate Green function.

The components of the field and the surface-charge density near ( = 0 all vary
with distance as (/!-1 .
For a very deep corner (small !) the power of ( becomes very large, and no
charge accumulates in such a corner.
When ! > , the 2d corner becomes an edge and the field and the surfacecharge density become singular as ( 0.
The 2d electrostatic considerations apply to many 3d situations, even with timevarying fields.
The singular behavior of the fields near sharp edges is the reason for the
effectiveness of lightning rods.
