2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

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

A

maximum at surface

B

maximum at centre

C

remain same throughout the conductor

D

maximum somewhere between surface and centre

(AIPMT-2002)

Solution

Given that some charge is given to a conductor then the whole charge is distributed over its surface only. Inside of conductor, electric field is zero whereas potential is same as on the surface. Hence, throughout the conductor, potential is same i.e, the whole conductor is equipotential.
