Abstract
We show how the electrical field inside the conductor changes as a function of the number of charged-particles. We show that the non-vanishing electrical field is concentrated near the surface of the conductor, at a shallow depth on the same order of magnitude as the separation between charges. Our study has illustrated the effect of charge discretization on a fundamental emergent law of electrostatics.
