what is the direction of electric field at the surface of a charged conductor having charge density σ < 0.

Dear Student!

As the surface density of the conductor is negative, the electric field lines will be radially outwards.

@ Aanisha, Aditya: Good!

perpendicular to the surface.

direction towards the surface

  • 0

radilly inwards

  • 4
