Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Subject: Ideal Conductors and Capacitors An infinite conducting plane has a hemispherical bump on it with radius R. A point charge Q is located a distance R above the top of the hemisphere, as shown in the figure below. a. Determine the location of the image charges needed to make the electric field perpendicular to the plane and the hemisphere at all points.b. Suppose that the distance A from the given charge Q to the plane is much larger than the radius R of the hemisphere. Show that in this limit, the surface charge density at the top of the hemisphere is 3 times as large as the surface charge density would be on the plane if we simply had a flat plane without the hemispherical bump.
