that V(r=b)=0 and V(r=a)=100V. Determine V and E in the region between the shells. If =2.5 in the region,
determine the total charge Induced on the shells and the capacitance of the capacitor.
Image theory states that a given charge configuration above an infinite conducting
plane may be replaced by the charge configuration itself, its image and an
equipotential surface in place of conducting plane.
The first condition is necessary to satisfy Poisson’s equation, and the second
condition Ensures that the boundary conditions are satisfied.
A Point Charge Above a Grounded Conducting Plane

There are two type of electric current caused by the motion of free charge :
convection current and conduction current
Convection current are due to the motion of positively or negatively charged particles in a vacuum or rarefied gas.
It does not obey Ohm’s law
When an external electric field is applied on a conductor, an organized motion of the conduction electrons will
result producing an electric current known as conduction current. It obeys Ohm’s law.
We have written s = an s quantity. It is convenient to define a vector point function, volume current density, or
simply current density. J, ampere/m2. .
Conduction Current density
In the case of conduction currents there may be more than one kind of
charge carriers (electrons, holes, and ions) drifting with different velocities.

Equation of Continuity and KCL
Due to the principle of charge conservation, the time rate of decrease of charge within a given volume must be equal to the
net outward current flow through the closed surface of the volume. Thus current Iout coming out of the closed surface is

Resistance Calculation
When the dielectric medium is lossy (having a small but nonzero conductivity), a current will
flow from the positive to the negative conductor, and a current-density field will be established
in the medium. Ohm' law, J = E, ensure· that the streamlines for J and E will be the same in an
isotropic medium the resistance between the conductor is
