MCQ
What is the net electrostatic field in the interior of a conductor?
- APositive
- BNegative
- CZero
- DDepends on the nature of the conductor
✓
Answer
- Zero
Explanation:
Net electrostatic field is zero in the interior of a conductor. When a conductor is placed in an electric field, its free electrons begin to move in the opposite direction. Negative charges are induced on the left end and positive charges on the right end of the conductor. The process continues until the electric field set up by induced charges becomes equal and opposite the external field.
