    So essentially between concentric shells where a < r < b, the electric field is only due to the shell with radius a?

      Because GAUSS'S THEOREM based on only enclosed surfaces. When r is greater then a and less then b then we are with Gaussian surface passing through Gaussian surface of radius r,in this time outer surface will be in effective.

    For r>c the electric field should be Q/4(pie)(epsilon)(r^2) since the charge on the inner shell is zero, negative charge(-Q) will get induced on the inner surface of the outer shell. But , since the outer shell is given no charge initially therefore net charge on the outer shell is zero and for this the outer surface of outer shell must be equal to positive charge Q. Hence electric field at a point r>c is as I have mentioned above.
    If we go by your logic, you are denying the law of conservation of charges.
    Please let me know, If you disagree with my argument.

      The outer shell is grounded. Any charge on the outer shell goes away. Therefore, the law of conservation of charges is has not been disobeyed.

    I'm heavily concerned on your proof of r>c for the field being zero. There is a positive surface charge and therefore a field emitted from that, you even do this exact problem in your part II video with a twist on variables.
    My result for E in r>c:
    E=k(Q/r^2)
    (Equal in magnitude and direction to the field between the materials.)
    *Proof:*
    E(total)=E(a

    • @danielnorman3404
      @danielnorman3404 8 років тому

      I'm confused by this as well but I agree with the original poster. In the video, he grounds only the conductive shell which surely means that it then has a net charge of zero. The sphere isn't grounded and retains the charge, Q. so the total charge enclosed in a gaussian sphere of r > c should be Q and the electric field outside the conductive sphere should be non-zero. If not, where am I going wrong?

    • @DLockX
      @DLockX 8 років тому

      If the shell were grounded, wouldn't that mean that it would collect an opposite charge Q- due to induction from the inner sphere? In that case the two charges cancel out and the field outside disappears.

      It makes sense to point the area vector outward, since you start with an area of 0 and work your way outward. If the vector pointed inward, this would indicate a decrease in area, which would make more sense in the case of potential, but not electric field.

    Although your result is right there seems to be a problem with the argumentation. Correct me if I'm wrong. The total flux through a surface can be zero but that doesn't say anything about the field locally. An example of that would be a dipole: its total charge is zero, as is the flux of E through a surface enclosing the dipole, but the field created by the dipole is not.
