Question:
Two pyramid-shaped conductors each carry a net charge Q.
(a) Transfer charge δQ from pyramid 2 to pyramid 1. Derive a condition on the coefficients of potential Pij which guarantees that this charge transfer lowers the total energy of the system.
(b) Show that the condition in part (a) implies a condition on the coefficients of capacitance.
(c) Under what circumstances can the condition in part (b) be used to determine that pyramid 1 is larger than pyramid 2?
