A charge Q accumulates on the hollow metallic dome, of radius R, of a Van de Graaff generator. A probe measures the electric field strength at various points outside the sphere surface.

(3/4)2
If a charge +Q is placed inside a hollow isolated conductor that is originally neutral and the charge does not touch that conductor at any time:

where curvature is greatest
