... Suppose that a pure dielectric, such as SiO2, is "loaded"*************************************************
with a uniform cloud of net negative charge. This can be done,
for example, by stopping beta particles inside. Would the cloud
remain uniform (as the charge density goes up) or will charges
be drifting toward the surface, as in metals, due to mutual
repulsion? What is the maximum possible charge density (order
of magnitude) inside a solid?
