This study guide covers electrostatics with conductors, focusing on charge distribution in conductors including ideal conductors, charge carriers on conductor surfaces, and electrostatic equilibrium. It also discusses electric fields within and at the surface of conductors, as well as conductor polarization and electrostatic shielding. Finally, it provides practice questions and exam tips.
