41 (PLL (P2l - : P12) QL 4 2 P22) Q

1) Electrical screening results when one conductor is completely surrounded by another conductor. This shields or screens the inner conductor from external conductors. 2) The document considers the example of 3 concentric spherical shells which provides such screening. It is shown that the coefficient c13 is equal to 0, meaning conductor 1 is screened off by conductor 3 and other external conductors. 3) The potentials and electric fields are derived for the case of 3 concentric spherical shells with charges q1, q2, q3 and radii r1, r2, r3 where r1 < r2 < r3.

9 Conductors and Electrical Screening 35

conductors with charges q and -q (as in preceding examples), we obtain

41 = (Pll - P12)ql 4 2 = (P2l - P22)Q,


or
41 - 4 2 = (Pll - P12 - pa1 + p22)q.
Hence
v = 41 - 4 2 = -,CQ
where

C=
(Pll - Pl2 - P2l P22). +
Expressed in terms of the coefficients Cij, one obtains

C=
c11 + c12 + c21 + c 2 2
CllC22 - c12c21 .
It can be shown that**

Electrical screening results if one conductor is completely surrounded


by another conductor. Instead of considering the most general case, we
consider here the example of 3 concentric spherical shells which provide such
enclosures. We will find that, as illustrated in Fig. 2.14, conductor 1 is
screened off by conductor 3 and other external conductors in the sense that
the coefficient c13 = 0.
We consider the three concentric spherical conductor shells with charges
qi and radii ri, i = 1 , 2 , 3 and r1 < 7-2 < 7-3. We know that in the case of a
single sphere with charge q and radius r g :
4 = k-4 for r <TO (there E = O ) ,
TO

4 = k-9r for r > r o (there E # 0).


It follows that
