Hello everybody
I have a question concerning static charges, and conductive spheres (or simple static shielding bags).
If I have a charge outside a metal sphere we know that the field doesn't penetrate it and in the sphere we have no electric field
If we put a static charge inside a metal sphere, are we going to measure outside the sphere any electric field? According to Gauss law we should.
Have you tested it? If I put a charged object (a charged piece of PVC), in a static shielding bag, are we going to measure outside any electric field?
I will experiment and see because my sense is that I will not measure any field, in contrary to the Gauss law
Thanks a lot for your thoughts
