• A. The electric field on the surface of a charged conductor is $\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$ , where σ is the surface charge density
• B. The electric potential inside a charged conductor is always zero
• C. Any excess charge resides on the surface of the conductor
• D. The net electric filed is tangential to the surface of the conductor

Answer 1

Answer: (C)
