Electric PotentialMediumQuestion 31447

Question

Inside a conductor, potential is:
  1. A
    Zero
  2. B
    Maximum at centre
  3. C
    Constant (same as surface potential)
    Correct
  4. D
    Minimum at centre

Correct answer

Constant (same as surface potential)

Explanation

E = 0 inside conductor → E = −dV/dx = 0 → V = constant. This constant equals the surface potential.
