When a charged insulating spherical shell is uniformly accelerated, an oppositely directed electric field is produced inside. Outside the field is the Born field of a uniformly accelerated charge, modified by a dipole. Radiation is produced. When the acceleration is annulled by the nearly uniform gravity field of an external shell with a 1 + beta cos theta surface distribution of mass, the differently viewed Born field is static and joins a static field outside the external shell; no radiation is produced. We discuss gravitational analogues of these phenomena. When a massive spherical shell is accelerated, an untouched test mass inside experiences a uniform gravity field and accelerates parallelly to the surrounding shell. In the strong gravity regime we illustrate these effects using exact conformastatic solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with charged dust. We consider a massive charged shell on which the forces due to nearly uniform electrical and gravitational fields balance. Both fields are reduced inside by the ratio of the g_00 inside the shell to that away from it. The acceleration of a free test particle, relative to a static observer, is reduced correspondingly. We give physical explanations of these effects.
