Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding conductors in electrostatic equilibrium: (A) The electric field is zero everywhere inside the bulk of a conductor. (B) The electrostatic field at the surface of a charged conductor is tangential to the surface. (C) The entire volume of a conductor is an equipotential region. (D) Any excess static charge resides entirely on the outer boundary surface. Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 1
(A), (C) and (D) only
Explanation
Statements (A), (C), and (D) are correct standard properties of conductors in electrostatics. (B) is false because the field is normal to the surface.
