[Physics] Electric field 0 everywhere inside Gaussian surface

classical-electrodynamicselectricityelectromagnetismelectrostaticshomework-and-exercises

Gauss's Law shows that the electric field everywhere inside a spherical shell of uniform charge density is $0$. Suppose we have a surface which divides space into two disjoint regions (an interior and exterior). If the electric field is $0$ everywhere interior to the surface, does it follow that the surface is a spherical shell of uniform charge density?

Edit: I am stupid. As Alfred Centauri pointed out, a zero electric field everywhere means there is no restriction on the surface. So let me impose the condition that the surface does not have charge zero.

Best Answer

No, it does not imply that the surface is spherical and charged uniformly.

Imagine a charged conducting shell of arbitrary shape. (An ellipsoid is a simple example.) Gauss' Law tells us that the charges in the conductor fly to the outside surface of the conductor, and the distribution of charges is such that the E-field inside is zero. But for a non-spherical conductor, the charge distribution is explicitly not spherical, and the charge distribution on it is not uniform.
