Inside a charged conductor electrostatic field is:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Zero
Under electrostatic conditions:
- Any excess charge resides on the surface of the conductor.
- If an internal field existed, free charges would move until they cancelled it.
- Thus, the Electric Field inside a conductor is zero.
- This principle is used for 'Electrostatic Shielding' (Faraday Cage).
