Question
Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance
Identify the false statement
A
Inside a charged or neutral conductor electrostatic field is zero
B
The electrostatic field at the surface of the charged conductor must be tangential to the surface at any point
C
There is no net charge at any point inside the conductor
D
Electrostatic potential is constant throughout the volume of the conductor
Answer
The electrostatic field at the surface of the charged conductor must be tangential to the surface at any point
Explanation
Solution
Electrostatic fieid at the surface of a conductor is normal to the surface.
