Inequality between size and charge in spherical symmetry
Abstract
We prove that, for a charged spherically symmetric body, twice the radius is always strictly greater than the charge of the body. We also prove that this inequality is sharp. Finally, we discuss the physical implications of this geometrical inequality and present numerical examples that illustrate this theorem.
