Electric fields in conductors
 

It is claimed that an electric field cannot exist in a conductor,
giving rise to such things as Faraday Cages, but supposing
an applied electric field was so large that there would be insufficient
mobile charges available to be able to neutralise that field within
a conductor?


This would surely affect our theories about wave guides and
co-axial cables, would it not?

In which case the conductor would begin to increase in temperature and
in an extreme case either melt or vaporize.

No, it would not effect any theory but it would effect the job status
of anyone stupid enough to design such a thing.

If you're going to accuse anyone of stupidity (although you are quite
correct in the case of the OP), it would be wise to learn the difference
between 'affect' and 'effect'.

As in the 'effect' of setting a FU without having the courtesy to
announce it in the message?

You don't think I actually spend any time on such as this to do proof
reading for common typos like affect/effect, to/too, its/it's, etc. do
you?

You managed to read the headers, others can.

No, but when you live in a glass house, it's unwise to throw stones.
