MCQ
What type of surface is the surface of a conductor?
  • A
    Equipotential
  • B
    Unipolar
  • C
    Unipotential
  • D
    Bipolar

Answer

  1. Equipotential

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. Thus the surface of a conductor is equipotential.
