Using the method of images to find the electric field that results when a charged particle is placed outside a conducting sphere. At the end, we consider how this relates to the force on the particle in the cases of both grounded and isolated conductors.
About me: I studied Physics at the University of Cambridge, then stayed on to get a PhD in Astronomy. During my PhD, I also spent four years teaching Physics undergraduates at the university. Now, I'm working as a private tutor, teaching Physics & Maths up to A Level standard.
