The figure shows a charge q1 exerting a force on a test charge qu. What happens to the electric force when a conductor is placed between q1 and qu (cases 1 and 2)? Does the force still remains the same? I am asking this because I am actually interested in finding what happens to the flux in general (whether it's electric or magnetic) when a conductor is suddenly inserted in the path of the flux (case 1-4) (assume that there is a static flux).
