While visualizing this full procedure, I kept making this silly error that the field due to the negative charges should cancel out the field due to the positive charges because of the plus and minus signs of the charges but I forgot that opposite charges attract which changes the direction of the field resulting in a net addition of fields inside the conductor (constructive superposition) rather than cancelling each other out. I feel like a fool for having asked such a question in the first place now xD. Thank you! | |
