Distribution of charge on a conductor.

Show all headers | View raw

I know, or at least I think I do, that the charge on a hollow conductor 
(say a sphere) is all on the outside, and the charge on a spike is 
concentrated at the tip (I think the charge density increases with the 
curvature of the surface).  So naturally I wonder where the change on a 
sphere with a spike in the inside will accumulate...
-- 
Shall we only threaten and be angry for an hour?
   When the storm is ended shall we find
How softly but how swiftly they have sidled back to power
   By the favour and contrivance of their kind?
