electrostatics - What will happen to the charges if we dig a hole in a hollow charged conductor(example a hollow conducting sphere)?


I am confused about how will the charges on outer surface of a hollow charged conductor would distribute themselves to make electric field zero inside after we dig a hole in the hollow conductor going from outer surface till the inner surface(imagine a thick hollow sphere having a hole piercing completely the thick layer of the sphere).my question is that are the charges now going to distribute themselves on the outer as well as the inner surface, as the inner surface is no longer inner because its connected to outer surface now because of the hole we dug?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
