Conductors and dielectrics in electric fields
(a) Draw a microscopic representation of what happens to the charge distribution in a conductor placed in an external uniform electric field. For simplicity, make the conductor of some regular shape. How can you test your explanation? (b) What happens if you cut the conductor in half (in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the field) while keeping it in the external field? How can you test your answer? (c) Repeat steps (a) and (b) for a dielectric.
