Consider a distribution of positive and negative electric charges on ℝ3 and the electrostatic potential induced by this charge. By definition of a conductor, if A is a connected conducting body in ℝ3, the charge on A distributes itself in such a way that the net effect is that of an all-positive or all-negative charge, and the distribution on A is in equilibrium in the sense that the restriction to A of the potential of the charge distribution in ℝ3 is a constant function.
