Description
We investigate the possibility of overcharging charged spherically-symmetric black holes in spacetime dimensions D > 4 by the capture of a charged particle. We generalize Wald’s classic result that extremal black holes cannot be overcharged. For nearly extremal black holes, we study how D affects the overcharging parameter space first discovered by Hubeny in D = 4. We find that overcharging becomes difficult for nearly-extremal black holes in the large D-limit.
