Electrostatics is concerned with the electrical fields and scalar potentials of stationary electrical charges and charge distributions. Use this for questions about electromagnetic situations in which currents and magnetic fields are absent, otherwise use the [electromagnetism] and/or [magnetic-fields] tags.

Nature of charge distribution on the outer surface of a conductor due to a charged particle ...
If I have a hollow conductor of arbitrary shape, and have a charge placed inside is cavity, then is there anything I can say for sure about the charge distribution on the outer surface? I know that in …

Electrostatic pressure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics says that "This pressure tends to draw the conductor into the field, regardless of the sign of the surface charge." …

Null point (vector) between n point charges
I have derived the result for 2 positive charges, and for one positive one negative can be obtained by using the minus sign correctly. But I was unable to extend it or solve for n charges. Is my exten …

Are electric field lines always conserved?
Suppose we have a positive +q charge and a -6q charge at some separation. Then will every field line originate from the +q and end up to -6q or will there be some extra lines coming to -6q from infini …
