JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - Electric potential and capacitance
- JEE Mains 2022
- Medium
- MCQ
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 give below.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are correct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement \(- I\), true as body of conductor acts as equipotential surface.
Statement \(-2\) True, as conductor is equipotential. Tangential component of electric field should be zero. Therefore electric field should be perpendicular to surface.
