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.

Dipolar moment in a volume differential

Imagine there is a volume of a neutral dielectric. An electric field has been applied so the it is polarized. The definition is its net dipolar moment is $ \vec{p}^{\,}= \int \rho \vec{r}^{\,} dv $ …

Understanding zero field inside a conductor?

Imagine a neutral conductor of any shape, the charges are randomly distribuited among the object. No way we can say the electric field inside is zero. If I'm wrong, then what can we say about the elec …
