Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance — Physics STD 12 Science — Question

Gujarat BoardEnglish MediumSTD 12 SciencePhysicsElectrostatic Potential and Capacitance1 Mark
MCQ
How is the potential within and on the surface of a conductor?
  • A
    Indirectly proportional
  • B
    Directly proportional
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    Constant
✓

Answer

  1. Constant

Explanation:

Electric field at any point is equal to the negative of the potential gradient. But inside a conductor, the electric field is zero. Hence, the electric potential is constant throughout the volume of a conductor and has the same value on its surface.
