MCQ
Some charge is being given to a conductor. Then its potential:
- Ais maximum somewhere between surface and centre.
- Bis maximum at surface.
- Cis maximum at centre.
- ✓remains same throughout the conductor.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
remains same throughout the conductor.
Given that some charge is given to a conductor then the whole charge is distributed over its surface only. Inside of conductor, electric field is zero whereas potential is same as on the surface. Hence, throughout the conductor, potential is same i.e, the whole conductor is equipotential.
