Description

In the experiment P3.1.7.6, the electric field strength on the surface of a conductive plate with distance r to a charged sphere is measured. The field gradient in front of the plate is equivalent to the case where instead of the plate a sphere with opposite charge is situated in twice the distance to the sphere (mirror or image charge). This leads to a doubling in field strength compared to a free-standing sphere.
