Can there be a potential difference between two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge ?
Can there be a potential difference between two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge ?
Yes, if the sizes are different.
Capacitance of capacitor $\mathrm{C}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{V}}$, where $\mathrm{Q}$ is the charge of conductor and $\mathrm{V}$ is the electric potential of conductors.
For given charge potential $\mathrm{V} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{C}}$. So two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge of different dimensions may have different potentials.
