Announcement 2
Please urgently e-mail your requests to Prof. Montalvo
( [email protected] ):
- for extra time on the exam because of disability
(you need a letter from Dean documenting disability);
- for a makeup exam, if you have a legitimate reason
(makeup will be given on Wed. next week – double check
with Prof. Montalvo).

Announcement 3
The best way to prepare for the exam:
- do practice exams from prior years (they are posted on
the course website);
- go through i-clicker and quizes;
- finish up all homework and/or collaborative assignments
that are overdue;
- come to office hours (prepared with your list of questions
ready!)

What can we conclude about the electric
potential distribution over the surface?
Conducting Surface ≡≡≡≡ Equipotential Surface
The surface of a conductor is always an equipotential surface (in electrostatics!):
when we move a test charge along the surface, no work is done (�� � ���).
Conducting Surface = Equipotential Surface
11
Since E=0 inside, any point in the volume of a conductor is
at the same potential as its surface.
E=0

Capacitor: a system of two conducting surfaces
(electrodes), the net charge is zero.

In electrostatics, both approaches are equivalent. In
electrodynamics, the alternating e.-m. field can exist with no
obvious relevance to charges, so it’s preferable to think that
the energy is stored in the electric field.

Field Energy vs. Energy of Interactions btw Charges
26
UE takes into account the work on assembling the individual charges, whereas
Uint doesn’t include the self-energies of these charges (doesn’t include the
work on assembling the individual charges).
- the field energy is always positive (∝ E2).
The potential energy of
interaction Uint between
charges can be either
positive or negative.

The equation for the potential has a unique solution if the boundary
conditions are fixed. These conditions are the same for the left half-
spaces of the figures. Thus, the electric field (to the right of the metal
surface) is also the same!
