Bhattacharya, Kolahal – European Journal of Physics, 2011
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. (Contains 4 figures.)
