Choose the correct option:
In a region of constant potential

  1. A There is charge inside the region
  2. B The electric field is uniform
  3. C There can be no charge inside the region and the electric field is zero
  4. D The electric field shall necessarily change on placing a charge outside the region
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) There can be no charge inside the region and the electric field is zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If potential \(V\) is constant: \(\vec{E} = -\nabla V = 0\) \(\nabla^2 V = -\rho/\epsilon_0 \Rightarrow \rho = 0\) There can be no charge inside the region and the electric field is zero.
