| We repeat the process above for the case that the ball is a conductor. Notice that much of the reasoning is the exact same. We still have spherical symmetry, and we choose the same Gaussian surface. It is pictured below for both $r<R$ and $r>R$. | We repeat the process above for the case that the ball is a conductor.
