conductors

• Physics
• Electricity

contain free charges

• metals
• solutions of ionic compounds

electric charge is distributed “evenly”

When put into an electric field, the charges on it are separated

Within the conductor, external field and field created by separated charges cancel, so inside there’s no electric field

Within the gap of the conductor, there’s also no electric field → Faraday’s cage
