Two Spheres in an External Field
View through CrossRef
This chapter deals with uncharged conducting spheres in an external field. There is charge separation on each sphere (they become polarized), but they remain neutral. When in contact, the combined two-sphere system also has net zero charge. Charged spheres, and the capacitance coefficients of the two-sphere system, are discussed in Chap. 4. The longitudinal and transverse polarizabilities of a pair of spheres are derived. From the polarizabilities the forces and torque on a pair of spheres in an external field are obtained.
