Given below are two statements.
Statement I: Electric potential is constant within and at the surface of each conductor.
Statement II: Electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at every point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Electric field is zero inside the conductor, therefore electric potential is constant within conductor as
.
Surface of conductor is equipotential surface, therefore electric field, just outside charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at every point.
