always tend to that configuration for which the total potential energy is least, so that in our case the body will experience a force urging it from points of weaker to points of stronger field. Owing to the difficulty of determining the distribution of N in the case of a body situated in a field… … 140 ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM chap. In the case of a conducting body, the induction N inside it is zero.The energy within the body is therefore zero, and from the aboveprinciple of least potential energy, the conductor will experience aforce urging it from weaker to stronger parts of the field. The…
