Faraday Cage A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure made of a conducting material. The fields within a conductor cancel out with any external fields, so the electric field within the enclosure is zero.These Faraday cages act as big hollow conductors. You can put things to shield them from electrical fields. Any electrical shocks the cage receives, pass harmlessly around the outside of the cage. An isolated point charge `+q` is placed inside the Faraday cage. Its surface must have charge equal

Electric Charges The physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field is called electric charge. Electric charge is a characteristic that accompanies fundamental particles, wherever they exist. The process of charging a neutral body by bringing a charged body nearby it without making contact between the two bodies is known as charging by induction.Figures given below are showing the sequential steps of charging a conductor permanently by using the process of charging by induction.The value of charge on a body which carries 30 excess electrons
(i) A conductor A with a cavity as shown in Fig. is given a charge Q. Show that the entire charge must appear on the outer surface of the conductor.(ii) Another conductor B with charge q is inserted into the cavity keeping B insulated from A. Show that the total charge on the outside surface of A is Q + q [Fig.(b)].(iii) A sensitive instrument is to be shielded from the strong electrostatic fields in its environment. Suggest a possible
Charge between Parallel Plates Surface charge density is defined as the charge per unit surface area of surface charge distribution, `i.e. sigma = (dq)/(dS)`Two large, thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have surface charge densities of opposite signs having magnitude of `17.0 xx 10^(-22) Cm^(-2)` as shown belowThe intensity of electric field at a point is `E=(sigma)/(epsilon_0)`where, `epsilon_0` = permittivity of free spaceIn order to estimate the electric field due to a thin finite plane metal plate, the gaussian surface considered
