‘Inside a conductor electrostatic field is zero’. Explain.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

In the static situation, when there is no current inside or on the surface of the conductor, the electric field is zero everywhere inside the conductor.

A conductor has free electrons, the free charge carriers would experience force and drift.

In the static situation, the free charges have so distributed themselves that the electric field is zero everywhere inside.
