Gravity-Induced Electric Field Near a Conductor. Murray Peshkin. Physics Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois.

A new derivation of the gravity-induced electric field is given. The principal assumption of this treatment is a generalization of the Faraday-cage idea. It is assumed here that the force on a test charge surrounded by a conductor is independent of the charge on the conductor and of external electric fields, even when the conductor is differentially compressed by gravity. Under this assumption, it is possible to estimate compression-dependent corrections to the gravity induced electric ficld. The corrections are negligible in practical cases. If the test charge has the same (e / m) as an electron, a shield against electric fields also serves as a shield against gravity.
