Conducting Sheets

Definition

Conducting sheets are materials that allow charges to move freely within them due to their high conductivity. They can redistribute charges on their surface and shield external electric fields.

Faraday Cage: A Faraday cage is an enclosure made of conducting material that blocks external static electric fields by redistributing charges on its surface.

Grounding: Grounding refers to connecting an object or system directly into Earth's conductive surface, providing safety by redirecting excess electrical charge away from sensitive components.
