Question

What is the relationship between electric field magnitude just outside a conductor, and the charge density on the surface of the conductor?

Answer 1

Answer:The divergence of the electric field at a point in space is equal to the charge density divided by the permittivity of space.

Step-by-step explanation

The magnitude of the electric field just outside a charged conductor is proportional to the surface charge density σ. (just a cylinder) through the surface of the conductor, then using what we've just discovered: – E = 0 inside a conductor.
