Question 962: Electrostats & Capacitance

Question

Some charge is being given to a conductor. Then its potential is

Accepted Answer

Electric field intensity E is zero within a conductor due to charge given to it.
Also, $$E =  - {{dV} \over {dx}} \Rightarrow {{dV} \over {dx}} = 0$$   (inside the conductor)
$$ 	herefore $$  V = constant. [V is potential]
So potential remains same throughout the conductor.

Answer

Answer

maximum at centre

Answer

remain same throughout the conductor

Answer

maximum somewhere between surface and centre.
