Question

Write five important results regarding electrostattics of
conductors

Sandeep Kumar · Accepted Answer

Dear Student

1 Inside a conductor,
electrostatic field is zero

2 At the surface of a
charged conductor, electrostatic field must be normal to the
surface at every point
3
â€‹The
interiors of a conductor can have no excess charge in static
situation

4 Electrostatic
Potential is a constant throughout the volume of a conductor and
has the same value inside and on its surface
5 Electrostatic
Shielding: whatever
the shape, size of the cavity and whatever be the charge on the
conductor, whatever the external electric field it may be placed,
the electric field inside the cavity remains zero

1. Inside a conductor, electrostatic field is zero

2. At the surface of a charged conductor, electrostatic field must be normal to the surface at every point.

4. Electrostatic Potential is a constant throughout the volume of a conductor and has the same value inside and on its surface.
