Question

The electrostatic field due to a charged conductor just outside the conductor is:

• A. zero and parallel to the surface at every point inside the conductor
• B. zero and is normal to the surface at every point inside the conductor
• C. parallel to the surface at every point and zero inside the conductor
• D. normal to the surface at every point and zero inside the conductor
• E. normal to the surface at every point and non-zero inside the conductor

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Correct answer is (d) normal to the surface at every point and zero inside the conductor
