Analogy of the grounded conducting sphere image problem with mirror optics

Classical Physics 2011-07-21 v1 Optics

Abstract

We show that in the grounded conducting sphere image problem, all the necessary information about the image charge can be found from a mirror equation and a magnification formula. Then, we propose a method to solve the image problem for an extended charge distribution near a grounded conducting sphere.
