JEE Main 2022 · 29 Jul · Shift 1, Physics question 41

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.

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A

Electrostatics of conductors. Inside, E=0E=0, so the potential is the same throughout and on the surface; the surface is an equipotential, so the field just outside is normal to it. Both are correct.

(A)
