| Feb 11, 2020 at 6:02 | comment | added | Sriram Goutam P | sorry I misread your answer. My confusion is about "Since we are guaranteed there is only one unique solution by the uniqueness theorem, this is the only solution". The second uniqueness theorem says about the uniqueness of electric field, whereas I think you are saying about uniqueness of charge distribution for that electric field. | |
| Feb 11, 2020 at 3:24 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | @SriramGoutamP I am not sure what you are confused about, because you seem to be answering your own question in your comment. We have "If the total charge is specified, then the field is uniquely determined". Therefore, when Griffiths has a scenario where the total charge is specified, then we know that the field is uniquely determined. | |
