It is very well known and taught to undergraduate students of electromagnetic theory that a charge e sitting at a height h above a conductor feels a force Fstatic=−(e2/4h2)N, where N is a unit normal vector to the conductor surface. The static force is due to an induced conductor charge density. Suppose (i) that the charged particle has a small velocity V parallel to the conductor surface, and (ii) that the induced conductor currents obey Ohm’s law with conductivity σ. Ohm’s law induced heating in the conductor then gives rise to a friction force (over and above the static force) Ffriction=−(e2/16πσh3)V. A simple derivation of this friction provides the undergraduate student with an interesting physical example of an induced friction force acting at a distance, i.e., a charged particle moving in the vacuum can feel a friction force due to a neighboring conductor.
