Abstract
Abstract We employ the principle of minimum energy of the electrostatic field to derive Laplace's equation for electric potential in charge-free space. We also apply the principle of minimum electrical potential energy of a system of discrete charges to explain the possibility of the existence of their stable equilibrium configuration on the surface of a conductor.
