Abstract: In this paper, the behavior of conducting materials in electrostatic fields is studied. It is important to observe the equilibrium state of the electric charges when conducting materials are put through experiments to determine their usability in industrial applications. The relationship between charge distribution and its equilibrium state are studied with regards to time constant, also known as the relaxation time. As the electric field in a conducting material is zero when the charges flowing inside it reach their equilibrium, some quick observations are made to understand the behavior of conducting materials under different charges. Time factor is an important consideration in this.
Keywords: Electrostatic Fields, Charge Distribution and Equilibrium, Laplace’s and Poisson’s Equations.
