Which of the following statements is 'WRONG' for the conductors?
- A In static situation, the interior of conductor can have no charge.
- B The net electrostatic field is zero in the interior of a conductor.
- C The electrostatic field just outside the surface of charged conductor must be tangential to the surface at any point
- D The electrostatic potential is constant within and on the surface of a conductor.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) The electrostatic field just outside the surface of charged conductor must be tangential to the surface at any point
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The electric field just outside the surface of the conductor is perpendicular to the surface which is a property of conductors in electrostatic equilibrium.
