QUESTION:
A solid conductor has a cavity in its interior. Would the presence of a point charge inside the cavity affect the electric field outside the conductor? Why or why not? Would the presence of a point charge outside the conductor affect the electric field inside the cavity? Again, why or why not?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
We have to discuss how the point charge inside a cavity inside a conductor will affect the field outside the conductor. Also we have to discuss how the field inside the cavity of the conductor will be affected by the point charge outside the conductor.
