Re: [Phys-l] Electrostatics shielding, hollow sphere question, and equipotentials.

This is similar to question # 39 p. 47 of Harnwell (2nd ed. 1949).  His 
answer is the normal component of the E is 1/2 that of the sphere's 
field before drilling the small hole. 

bc, would find using JD's  app. much easier.
