The diagram shows a large positive charge next to a conductor. A conductor is a material (typically metal) that has a lot of free charges that can move around in response to external fields. The conductor in the figure is neutral (the net charge is zero).
Together, the large positive charge and the charges in the conductor will create a net electric field everywhere in space. Predict the direction of this net electric field at the center of the square conductor.
A conductor is an object that possesses free electric charges that move in response to an external electric field in such a way that the electric field everywhere inside the conductor is zero.
