Shielding Description

The Shielding simulation illustrates the electric field due to a free charge near an isolated conducting spherical shell with zero charge. The free charge can be inside or outside the shell. The charges can be shown induced on the surfaces of the shell that keep the electric field in the conductor zero. The user can choose between showing the total field (that is the field due to the free charge and the induced charges), or the field due to the free charge alone, or the charge due to the induced charges alone. Take Shielding for a test drive to fully assess its capabilities!
